Classification

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

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.057.0.81.046. Virus accession number: 57081046. Obsolete virus code: 57.0.1.T.046; superceded accession number: 5701t046.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

ICTV approved acronym: IsaMV. Virus has not been assigned to a particular genus. Virus is 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 750 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).

Severity and Occurrence of Disease

Host: Signs and symptoms persist.

Experimental Hosts and Symptoms

Susceptible host species are found in the Family Gramineae. The following species were susceptible to experimental virus infection: Isachne globosa.

Cytopathology: Inclusions are present in infected cells. Inclusion bodies in the host cell are found in the cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic inclusions are pinwheels. Inclusions do not contain mature virions.

Geographical Distribution

The virus occurs in Japan.

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.
