Classification

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

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.079.0.70.039. Virus accession number: 79070039. Obsolete virus code: 79.0.P.DE.39; superceded accession number: 790pde39.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

The taxon is not listed in the current ICTV Report.

Virus is unclassified. Virus is not assigned to a genus; not assigned to a family.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Capsid is isometric, round and exhibits icosahedral symmetry. The capsomer arrangement is clearly visible.

Proteins

The viral genome encodes 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.

Transmission and Vector Relationships

Virus is transmitted by a vector. Virus is not transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting; not transmitted by contact between hosts; not transmitted by seeds; not transmitted by pollen.

Vector Transmission:
Virus is transmitted by arthropods, by insects of the order Hemiptera, family Aphididae; Macrosiphum (Oestlundia) davidsonii, M.(O.) maxima and Amphorophora parviflori. Virus is not transmitted by Amphorophora agathonica.

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 Rosaceae. The following species were susceptible to experimental virus infection: Rubus henryi, Rubus idaeus, Rubus occidentalis, Rubus parviflorus.

Host:
Experimentally infected hosts mainly show symptoms of ringspots and oak leaf markings.

Experimentally infected insusceptible Hosts: Families containing insusceptible hosts: Chenopodiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, or Leguminosae-Papilionoideae, Solanaceae. Species inoculated with virus that do not show signs of susceptibility: Chenopodium quinoa, Cucumis sativus, Nicotiana tabacum, Phaseolus vulgaris, Vigna unguiculata ssp. unguiculata.

Diagnostic Hosts

Diagnostic host species and symptoms:

Rubus parviflorus — ringspot and oak leaf markings.

Rubus idaeus — faint chlorotic markings.

R. occidentalis — diffuse mottle.

R. henryi — chlorotic leaf spots. Diagnostic host: insusceptible host species all herbaceous hosts tested were insusceptible including Chenopodium quinoa, Cucumis sativus, Nicotiana tabacum, Vigna unguiculata ssp. unguiculata, Phaseolus vulgaris.

Maintenance and Propagation Hosts

Most commonly used maintenance and propagation host species are Rubus parviflorus.

Assay Hosts

Host: Assay hosts (for Local lesions or Whole plants):
Rubus parviflorus (W), Rubus occidentalis (W).

References to host data: Stace-Smith (1958).

Geographical Distribution

The virus occurs in Canada.
