  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 1". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
  • 🧍 Later homonym of Bosea He and Qian 1979 (a fossil dinoflagellate). Bosea Das et al. 1996 is also a later homonym of a genus name with standing in the botanical (plant) nomenclature: Bosea L. 1753, but the name does not contravene the Code because of this homonymy. — Crook M.
