        <curatorial-note>TODO (garrity): This may need an official opinion to be resolved.</curatorial-note>
        <public-note>In 1971 Watson submitted a request for an opinion that proposed ATCC 25961 as a  neotype strain for N. briensis. 

There was no subsequent official opinion validating the neotype strain and N. briensis is listed on the Approved Lists 1980 as having no culture available.

In 1985, Koops and Harms stated that ATCC 25971 is equivalent to Nsp10. However, ATCC 25961 and ATCC 25971 are not available in the ATCC catalog.</public-note>
