To recognize "Wongorr virus" as a distinct orbivirus serogroup (species). First isolated from the mosquito Aedes lineatopennis in Australia, but also shown to infect cattle and some macropods. The serogroup contains several serotypes including Picola virus and Paroo river virus (previously listed as unclassified members of the genus Orbivirus) as well as MRM13443, CS131, V195, V199, V595 and V1447.
