Classification

This is a description of a plant virus at the genus level with data limited to classification details. If you have primary data on this virus, please submit them to ICTVdB using the online data entry systems or contact the ICTVdB management.

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.056.0.07. Virus accession number: 056007GE. Obsolete virus code: 00.085.0.01.; superceded accession number: 085001GE; 85001000.
NCBI Taxonomy Identifier Taxon ID: 184751.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

Virus is of the 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, flexuous with a length of 800 nm and a width of 12 nm. Basic helix is obvious. Pitch of helix is 3.8 nm.

Nucleic Acid

The genome is monopartite. Only one particle size of linear, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA is recovered.

GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

The viral genome encodes structural proteins.

Lipids

Lipids are not reported.

Transcription: The virus codes for 5-7 ORF(s).

Coding Strategy of Segment 1: Contains 5-7 ORF(s). Sequence has no gene blocks.

Taxonomic Proposals and Changes

A taxonomic proposal has been submitted to the ICTV by the Plant Virus Subcommittee at the meeting in San Diego, March 1998, to create a new taxon (for grapevine viruses). The proposal has been rejected at the meeting of the Executive Committee in San Diego, 1998.

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. The description has been generated automatically from DELTA files.
