1 Introduction
1.1
Introductory remarks
In passing the Ordinance on the Contained Use of Organisms (Containment
Ordinance, CO), the Federal Council mandated the Swiss Agency for the
Environment, Forests and Landscape (SAEFL) to produce lists of the relevant
organisms and biological safety systems (Art. 22, CO). The purpose of these lists is
to facilitate and harmonise the execution of the Containment Ordinance, and of the
associated Ordinance on Occupational Safety in Biotechnology (OOSB).
The SAEFL has circulated the proposed lists to various federal offices for their
comments: i.e. to the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (SFOPH), the Swiss
Federal Veterinary Office (SFVO), the Federal Office for Agriculture (FOAG), the
State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (seco), the Swiss Accident Insurance Fund
(suva), the Federal Experts Commission on Biosafety (SECB) and the Working
Group Biotechnology of the Cantons (ERFA Bio). The present list is published by
the SAEFL in agreement with the aforementioned offices.
The present list does not yet include any information about plant-pathogenic
viruses. This is to be incorporated into the list at a later date.
1.2
Comments about nomenclature and classification
1.2.1
Taxonomy
New findings have greatly changed the taxonomy of viruses in recent years. This
situation was taken into account in revising the list. The book Virus Taxonomy,
Seventh Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, Academic
Press, 2000 served as the basis. The classification of viruses in families, and in
some cases in subfamilies and genera, was taken from this book. For individual
species, the names officially recognized by the aforementioned international
commission were used.
In a few individual cases, it was necessary to deviate from the aforementioned
procedure. For instance, the "Fowl plague virus" (Avian Influenza) is no longer
presented in the aforementioned book. However, since this is the cause of a highly
contagious, reportable animal epidemic (which is a highly contagious epidemic
according to the Ordinance on Epizooties, Art. 2, SR 916.401), this virus was
nevertheless listed under its old name, but in quotation marks, to indicate that it is
not a name officially recognized by the corresponding international scientific
committee.
Names of viruses, as listed by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses
(Virus Taxonomy, Seventh Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of
Viruses, Academic Press, 2000), are written in italics. However, provisional names
of virus species, alternative names (in brackets), strains and serotypes are not
1 Introduction

written in italics. Viruses whose names have not been registered by the
aforementioned committee are written in quotation marks.
1.2.2
Classification in groups
A number of lists that already exist in Switzerland and elsewhere were used as the
basis for the classification of viruses in (risk) groups. These were the lists of the
Swiss Committee for Biological Security (SCBS), of the German Federal Ministry
for Health, of the German Professional Association of the Chemical Industry
(Sichere Biotechnologie, Eingruppierung biologischer Agenzien Merkblatt B004,
4/98, Jedermann-Verlag, Postfach 10 31 40, 69021 Heidelberg), the European
Union Directive 2000/54/EC “on the protection of workers from risks related to
exposure to biological agents at work”, the US National Institutes of Health
Guidelines and Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL,
4th edition; US DHHS, CDC and NIH, May 1999).
In principle, viruses of invertebrates were assigned to group 1, and viruses of
vertebrates were assigned to group 2 or higher. Some exceptions are wellcharacterized viruses such as the vaccinia strain MVA, which cannot multiply in
human cells, and is therefore classified in group 1. Special caution has to be taken
with group 2 monkey viruses, where zoonoses have not been demonstrated, yet the
possibility nevertheless exists that humans can be infected by these viruses.
Vaccine strains are in general assigned to group 1 (exceptions include most
Vaccinia vaccine strains, rabies vaccine strains and yellow fever vaccine strain 17D,
which are assigned to group 2). As with all activities involving genetically modified
or pathogenic organisms, the principles of good microbiological practice
(Ordinance on Occupational Safety in Biotechnology, Appendix 3) have to be
observed for work with vaccine strains, since certain vaccine strains are
contraindicated for certain individuals.
The assignment of viruses to groups corresponds to a great extent to the safety level
at which work must be carried out. However, only a detailed risk assessment
according to Art. 8 of the Containment Ordinance can give conclusive information
on whether the necessary safety level is identical to the group of the organism, or
whether a higher safety level is necessary. When handling large quantities of
organisms, the possible formation of aerosols and the use of sharp or pointed
instruments ("sharps") are important elements to be taken into consideration in risk
assessment, and in the determination of the necessary safety measures.
Not all viruses included in the list could be assigned to a group. However, it was
decided to keep them in the list. Before beginning work with any organisms not
assigned to a group, these are to be classified according to the risk assessment
requirements described in Art. 8 of the Containment Ordinance, and the assessment
must be submitted to the federal authoritities.

Classification of Organisms - Viruses
1.3
1 Introduction
Legend
a
Viruses that cause highly contagious, reportable animal epidemics (highly
contagious epidemics according to the Ordinance on Epizooties Art. 2, SR
916.401). Activities with such viruses require special approval by the Swiss
Federal Veterinary Office.
b
At present, for the use of polio viruses safety level 2/polio (BSL-2/polio) is
required. This includes a number of measures additional to the usual package
for safety level 2 (see WHO global action plan for the laboratory containment
of wild polioviruses, Department of Vaccines and Biologicals, WHO, Geneva,
1999). As soon as the eradication of the polio viruses moves further forward,
there will be stricter safety requiments (see above reference for details).
c
Samples of Variola viruses are only held at the "State Research Center of
Virology and Biotechnology, Koltsovo, Novosibirsk region, Russian
Federation" and at the "Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta
USA". Activities with these agents are only allowed in the laboratories of these
institutes and under maximum safety measures, and they require approval by
the World Health Organization (WHO).
d
For the classification of work with viruses that are used as vectors, see
Statement of the Swiss Expert Committee for Biosafety on the classification of
work with genetically modified viral vectors (PDF), www.efbs.ch).
e
Laboratory strains of some adeno-associated viruses (adeno-associated virus 2,
3, 5), which are used as vectors can normally be classified in group 1.
f
Certain organisms can be assigned to group 3** if they present a limited risk of
infection for employees, because they cannot normally be transmitted by air,
according to the latest information available. Work with these organisms must
be carried out at safety level 3, though certain level 3 measures can be omitted.
g
Biological agents associated with transferable spongiform encephalopathies are
classified as 3**. Work with these agents must be done according to safety
level 3, though certain level 3 measures can be omitted (see Classification of
work using prion genes and prion proteins (PDF), www.efbs.ch).
h
Names of viruses that are not written in italics and appear below a virus name
that is written in italics (officially recognized species): this signifies that the
virus is related to the virus listed above in italics. For the time being it is not
possible to decide whether these viruses should be considered as serotypes,
strains, or a species. In certain cases, the virulence of some of these viruses
may differ from the officially recognized species, which explains the
difference in classification.
7
8
H
Pathogenic for humans.
V
Pathogenic for vertebrates only. So far, no human diseases caused by these
viruses have been reported. If it can be demonstrated that the risk is lower for
human beings than for animals, individual safety measures may be altered,
substituted or omitted for a particular activity if the risk assessment shows that
the protection of people and the environment is nevertheless ensured and if
competent authority has approved the exception (Containment Ordinance, Art.
10).
Z
Pathogenic for humans and for vertebrates.
