The infectious-agent list's README cited MycoBank's web services at https://webservices.bio-aware.com/westerdijk/public, which answers 503. The list's reconciliation with MycoBank read its records through https://webservices.bio-aware.com/westerdijk/mycobank, the API MycoBank's curators point to. That address needs a login and has no page of its own, so the README now names it as code rather than linking it, which also keeps the link check from flagging it.

The ICTV taxonomy link drops its trailing slash, from which it redirected, and points at https://ictv.global/taxonomy.

The README is bundled into the list's release archive, so the list's changelog records the fix under Unreleased. The list's content is unchanged.
