Table of Contents

Classification

This is a description of a plant virus at the genus level (not yet assigned to a family).

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.034.0.01. Virus accession number: 034001GE. Obsolete virus code: 34.0.1.; superceded accession number: 34010000.
NCBI Taxon Identifier NCBI Taxonomy ID: 39760.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

Synonym(s): Raspberry bushy dwarf virus group. Virus is not assigned to a family.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of a capsid. Virus capsid is not enveloped, round with icosahedral symmetry. The isometric capsid has a diameter of 33 nm. Capsids appear hexagonal in outline. The capsomer arrangement is not obvious. Virus preparations contain more than one particle component.

Physicochemical and Physical Properties

Virions have a buoyant density in CsCl of 1.37 g cm-3. There are 1 sedimenting component(s) found in purified preparations, or 3 sedimenting component(s) found in purified preparations. The sedimentation coefficient is 115 S20w. The thermal inactivation point (TIP) is at 65°C. The longevity in vitro (LIV) is 4 days. Although the titer is dependent on the host, the decimal exponent (DEX) of the dilution end point is usually around 4.

Nucleic Acid

The Mr of the genome constitutes 24% of the virion by weight. The genome is segmented; bipartite, segements are distributed among 2 particle types, or multipartite and segments are distributed over several particles of varying size, depending on the length of the genome enclosed. The genome consists of three segments of linear, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA. Minor species of non-genomic nucleic acid are also found in virions. The encapsidated nucleic acid is mainly of genomic origin, but virions may also contain subgenomic RNA, that is mRNA derived from genomic RNA-2. The complete genome is 8600 nucleotides long, is sequenced, complete sequence is about 5400 nucleotides long (RNA-1). RNA-2 is fully sequenced. Complete sequence is 2200 nucleotides long.   is sequenced and complete sequence is about 1000 nucleotides long (RNA-3). The multipartite genome is divided among more than one type of particle.

GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

Proteins constitute about 76% of the particle weight.

The viral genome encodes structural proteins. Virions consist of 1 structural protein(s).

Lipids

Lipids are not reported.

Transcription: Sub-genomic RNA is present in infected cells; encoding the coat protein.

Biological Properties

Natural Host

Domain
Viral hosts belong to the Domain Eucarya.

Domain Eucarya
Kingdom Plantae.

Kingdom Plantae
Phylum Magnoliophyta (Angiosperms, Class Magnoliopsida (Dicotyledonae).

Class Magnoliopsida (Dicotyledonae)
Subclass ROSIDAE.

Severity and Occurrence of Disease

Host: Infection is not apparent.

Transmission and Vector Relationships

Virus is not transmitted by a vector. Virus is transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting; transmitted by seeds; transmitted by pollen to the seed, or transmitted by pollen to the pollinated plant.

Experimental Hosts and Symptoms

Under experimental conditions susceptibility to infection by virus is found in many families. Susceptible host species are found in the Family Chenopodiaceae, Leguminosae-Papilionoideae, Rosaceae, Solanaceae. The following species were susceptible to experimental virus infection: Chenopodium amaranticolor, Chenopodium murale, Chenopodium quinoa, Fragaria vesca, Nicotiana clevelandii, Phaseolus vulgaris, Rubus idaeus, Rubus loganobaccus, Rubus occidentalis, Rubus ursinus.

Geographical Distribution

The virus is probably distributed worldwide. The virus spreads in Eurasia, or North America. The virus occurs in Australia, or New Zealand (Aotearoa), or the USSR (former).
