According to [ICTV](/wiki/International_Committee_on_Taxonomy_of_Viruses "International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses")'s [ninth report](http://ictvonline.org/proposals/2008.006-009B.v3.AHJD-likes.pdf) in 2009, the genus *Ahjdlikevirus* was first accepted under the name *AHJD\-like viruses*. In [2012](http://ictvonline.org/proposals/2011.010aB.A.v2.Caudovirales_genus-ren.pdf), the genus was renamed to *Ahjdlikevirus*. The genus was later renamed to ***Rosenblumvirus***.


What is the significance of renaming a virus genus?
