Tentative Species in the Genus

00.013.0.81.004. Nandina stem pitting virus (NSPV)


Similarity with Other Taxa

Member viruses of the Genus Capillovirus have the same particle morphology as those of the Family Closteroviridae and the Genera Trichovirus and Vitivirus. Similarities exist between members of the Genera Capillovirus, Trichovirus and Vitivirus in amino acid sequences around conserved helicase and polymerase motifs, in their putative MP and CP, and in genome expression strategy. The genome organization, however, is remarkably different.

Derivation of Name

Capillo: from Latin capillus, "hair".
