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: 00.057.0.81.004. Virus accession number: 57081004. Obsolete virus code: 57.0.1.T.004; superceded accession number: 5701t004.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

ICTV approved acronym: AntMV. 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 with a clear modal length with a length of 750 nm and a width of 12 nm.

Nucleic Acid

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

Proteins

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

Lipids

Lipids are not reported.

Biological Properties

Natural Host

Domain
Viral hosts belong to the Domain Eucarya.

Domain Eucarya
Kingdom Plantae.

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

Severity and Occurrence of Disease

Host: Signs and symptoms persist.

Transmission and Vector Relationships

Virus is transmitted by mechanical inoculation; not transmitted by seeds.

Vector Transmission: Virus is not transmitted by Aulacorthum circumflexum, Macrosiphum (Sitobion) avenae, M. (S.) fragariae, Acyrthosiphon (Metopolophium) dirhodum, Myzus persicae, Rhopalosiphum padi.

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 Gramineae. The following species were susceptible to experimental virus infection: Anthoxanthum odoratum, Avena fatua, Avena sativa, Avena strigosa, Hordeum vulgare, Lagurus ovatus, Triticum aestivum.

Experimentally infected insusceptible Hosts: Families containing insusceptible hosts: Gramineae. Species inoculated with virus that do not show signs of susceptibility: Dactylis glomerata, Festuca pratensis, Lolium perenne, Phleum pratense, Zea mays.

Diagnostic Hosts

Diagnostic host species and symptoms:

Anthoxanthum odoratum, Avena sativa, A fatua, A strigosa, Hordeum vulgare, Lagurus ovatus, Triticum aestivum — mild mosaic.

Diagnostic host: insusceptible host species Dactylis glomerata, Festuca pratensis, Lolium perenne, Phleum pratense, Zea mays.

Maintenance and Propagation Hosts

Most commonly used maintenance and propagation host species are Anthoxanthum odoratum, Avena sativa, A fatua, Hordeum vulgare, Triticum aestivum.

Assay Hosts

Host: Assay hosts (for Local lesions or Whole plants):
Anthoxanthum odoratum (W).

Geographical Distribution

The virus spreads in Eurasia. The virus occurs in the United Kingdom (Wales).
