Virus classification Edit this classification
(unranked): Virus
Realm: Riboviria
Kingdom: Orthornavirae
Phylum: Negarnaviricota
Class: Monjiviricetes
Order: Mononegavirales
Family: Rhabdoviridae
Subfamily: Betarhabdovirinae
Genus: Varicosavirus

Varicosavirus is a genus of plant viruses. The virus is associated with swelling in plant vein tissues. They are negative single stranded RNA viruses.[1] The genus contains 46 species.[2]

Classification

[edit]

The genus contains the following species, listed by scientific name and followed by the exemplar virus of the species:[2][3]

Structure

[edit]

Virions consist of a non-enveloped rod-shaped capsid, having a helical symmetry of 120–360 nm in length, and a width of 18–30 nm.

Genome

[edit]

The genome consists of a bi-segmented linear, single-stranded negative sense RNA. The first segment is about 6350–7000 nucleotides in length; the second, about 5630–6500 nucleotides in length.[4]
