"Occasionally, the abbreviations "sp." or "spp." may be used after the genus name, meaning "species" or "species plural," respectively. For example, the term Wuchereria spp. refers to more than one Wuchereria species. The "sp."/"spp." abbreviations are never capitalised or italicised, although the preceding genus name is. A full stop/period is always placed after these abbreviations unless it is used at the end of a sentence and would result in a double full stop/period."

"However, higher ranks, e.g. orders and families, of species are not italicised but initial letters are capitalised, e.g. Wuchereria bancrofti, which is from the genus Wuchereria but from the taxonomic family Onchocercidae."
