Classification

This is a description of a plant virus at the isolate level with data restricted to the genomic sequence.

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.056.0.01.022.00.001. Virus accession number: 56011022.
NCBI Taxonomy Identifier Taxon ID: 35286.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

Acronym(s): BaMV-O. Virus is assigned to species 00.056.0.01.022. Bamboo mosaic virus of the genus 00.056.0.01. Potexvirus; family 00.056. Flexiviridae.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of a capsid. Virus capsid is not enveloped. Capsid/nucleocapsid is elongated with helical symmetry. The capsid is filamentous with a length of 490 nm and a width of 15 nm. Axial canal is indistinct.

Electron microscopic preparation and references: Virus preparation contains many virions. Reference for electron microscopic methods: Lin et al. (1977).

Physicochemical and Physical Properties

The thermal inactivation point (TIP) is at 65-70°C. Although the titer is dependent on the host, the decimal exponent (DEX) of the dilution end point is usually around 5-6.

Nucleic Acid

The genome is monopartite. Only one particle size of linear, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA is recovered, is fully sequenced, complete sequence is 6366 nucleotides long and encodes capsid protein; movement protein; polymerase. Sequence has the accession number [D26017], and the NCBI reference genome has the accession number
[NC_001642].

Reference to nucleotide sequence in PubMed: reference(s). GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

The viral genome encodes structural proteins and non-structural proteins.

Lipids

Lipids are not reported.

Transcription: The virus codes for 5 ORF(s).

Coding Strategy of Segment 1: Sequence has a gene block. Sequence has triple gene block sequence (TGB). Encodes proteins involved in cell to cell movement.

Biological Properties

Natural Host

Domain
Viral hosts belong to the Domain Eucarya.

Domain Eucarya
Kingdom Plantae.

Kingdom Plantae
Phylum Magnoliophyta (Angiosperms, Class Liliopsida (Monocotyledonae).

Class Liliopsida (Monocotyledonae)
Subclass COMMELINIDAE; Order Poales;
Family Poaceae. Virus found in Bambusa multiplex, Bambusa vulgaris.

Severity and Occurrence of Disease

Host: Signs and symptoms persist.

Transmission and Vector Relationships

Virus is not transmitted by a vector. Virus is transmitted by mechanical inoculation.

Experimental Hosts and Symptoms

Under experimental conditions susceptibility to infection by virus is found in several families.

Diagnostic Hosts

DELTA - DEscription Language for TAxonomy developed by Dr Mike Dallwitz, Toni Paine and Eric Zurcher, CSIRO Entomology, Canberra, Australia. ICTVdB - The Universal Virus Database, developed for the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses by Dr Cornelia Büchen-Osmond is written in DELTA. The virus descriptions in ICTVdB are coded by, or using data from experts in the field of virology or members ICTV. The character list is the underlying code. All virus descriptions are based on the character list and natural language translations are automatically generated and formatted for display on the Web from the descriptions in DELTA-format.
