Classification

This is a description of a plant virus at the species level.

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.039.0.91.002. Virus accession number: 39091002. Obsolete virus code: 39.0.1.T.DE.2; superceded accession number: 3901tde2.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

The taxon is not listed in the current ICTV Report.

Virus has not been assigned to a particular genus of the genus 00.039.0.01. Luteovirus in the family 00.039. Luteoviridae.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of a capsid. Virus capsid is not enveloped, round with icosahedral symmetry. The capsid.

Nucleic Acid

The genome is not segmented and contains a single molecule of linear positive-sense, single-stranded RNA.

Proteins

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

Lipids

Lipids are absent.

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: Signs and symptoms persist.

Transmission and Vector Relationships

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

Vector Transmission:
Virus is transmitted by arthropods, by insects of the order Hemiptera, family Aphididae; Aphis craccivora, but not Myzus persicae or Acyrthosiphon (Aulacorthum) solani. Virus is transmitted in a persistent manner.

Experimental Hosts and Symptoms

Under experimental conditions susceptibility to infection by virus is found in several families. Susceptible host species are found in the Family Leguminosae-Papilionoideae. The following species were susceptible to experimental virus infection: Glycine max, Phaseolus vulgaris, Pisum sativum, Psophocarpus tetragonolobus, Vigna radiata, Vigna sesquipedalis, Vigna unguiculata, Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedalis .

Experimentally infected insusceptible Hosts: Families containing insusceptible hosts: Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Solanaceae. Species inoculated with virus that do not show signs of susceptibility: Chenopodium amaranticolor, Chenopodium quinoa, Gomphrena globosa, Nicotiana glutinosa, Petunia x hybrida, Physalis floridana.

Diagnostic Hosts

Diagnostic host species and symptoms:

Vigna unguiculata, Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedalis, Glycine max, Phaseolus vulgaris, Pisum sativum, Psophocarpus tetragonolobus, Vigna radiata — small, malformed leaves and severe stunting.

Maintenance and Propagation Hosts

Most commonly used maintenance and propagation host species are Vigna unguiculata, Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedalis.

Assay Hosts

Host: Assay hosts (for Local lesions or Whole plants):
Vigna unguiculata (W), Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedalis (W).

References to host data: Tsuchizaki et al. (1986).

Geographical Distribution

The virus occurs in Indonesia and Thailand.

Ecology, Epidemiology and Control

Studies reported by Tsuchizaki et al. (1986).

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.
