Classification

This is a description of a plant virus at the species level with data on all virus properties from morphology to genome, replication, antigenicity and biological properties.

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.057.0.81.002. Virus accession number: 57081002. Obsolete virus code: 57.0.1.T.002; superceded accession number: 5701t002.
NCBI Taxon Identifier NCBI Taxonomy ID: 260375.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

ICTV approved acronym: ALiMV. Virus is a tentative member of the genus 00.057.0.01. Potyvirus; family 00.057. Potyviridae .

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 clear modal length with a length of 760 nm.

Electron microscopic preparation and references: Reference for electron microscopic methods: Terami et al. (1993).

Physicochemical and Physical Properties

A260/A280 ratio is 1.32.

Nucleic Acid

The genome is monopartite. Only one particle size of linear, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA is recovered. The complete genome is 10200 nucleotides long. Genome is sequenced, but only an estimate is available, complete sequence is 10200 nucleotides long.

GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

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

Lipids

Lipids are not reported.

Antigenicity

The virus is serologically related to alstroemeria mosaic, hippeastrum mosaic, hyacinth mosaic, onion yellow dwarf, ornithogalum mosaic, potato Y, watermelon mosaic-2 and zucchini yellow mosaic viruses.

Biological Properties

Natural Host

Domain
Viral hosts belong to the Domain Eucarya.

Domain Eucarya
Kingdom Plantae.

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

Transmission and Vector Relationships

Virus is transmitted by a vector. Virus is transmitted by mechanical inoculation.

Vector Transmission:
Virus is transmitted by arthropods, by insects of the order Hemiptera, family Aphididae; Myzus persicae. Virus is transmitted in a non-persistent manner; lost by the vector when it moults.

Experimental Hosts and Symptoms

Under experimental conditions susceptibility to infection by virus is found in few families. Susceptible host species are found in the Family Amaryllidaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Solanaceae. The following species were susceptible to experimental virus infection: Chenopodium amaranticolor, Chenopodium quinoa, Eucharis grandiflora, Nicotiana benthamiana.

Host:
Experimentally infected hosts mainly show symptoms of mosaic.

Diagnostic Hosts

Diagnostic host species and symptoms:

Chenopodium amaranticolor, C. quinoa — necrotic local lesions, not systemic.

Nicotiana benthamiana — systemic leaf mosaic.

Maintenance and Propagation Hosts

Most commonly used maintenance and propagation host species are Nicotiana benthamiana.

Assay Hosts

Host: Assay hosts (for Local lesions or Whole plants):
Chenopodium amaranticolor (L), C. quinoa (L).

Histopathology: Virions are found in the cytoplasm.

Cytopathology: Inclusions are present in infected cells. Inclusion bodies in the host cell are found in the cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic inclusions are pinwheels.

Geographical Distribution

Geographical distribution of the virus is probably restricted. The virus spreads in East Asia. The virus occurs in Japan.
