Phylum: Kitrinoviricota
Class: Alsuviricetes
Order: Martellivirales
Family: Closteroviridae
Genera

Closteroviridae is a family of viruses.[1] Plants serve as natural hosts. There are four genera and 59 species in this family, seven of which are unassigned to a genus.[2][3] Diseases associated with this family include: yellowing and necrosis, particularly affecting the phloem.[3][4]

Taxonomy

Schematic diagrams of the genome structure of the representative viruses in the four genera of the family Closteroviridae.

Genome type and transmission vector are two of the most important traits used for classification. Ampeloviruses and Closteroviruses have monopartite genomes and are transmitted by pseudococcid mealybugs (and soft scale insects) and aphids respectively. While Criniviruses are bipartite and transmitted by whiteflies.[3]

Structure

Viruses in the family Closteroviridae are non-enveloped, with flexuous and filamentous geometries. The diameter is around 10–13 nm, with a length of 950–2200 nm. Genomes are linear and non-segmented, bipartite, around 20kb in length.[3] [4]

Genus Structure Symmetry Capsid Genomic arrangement Genomic segmentation
Crinivirus Filamentous Non-enveloped Linear Bipartite
Velarivirus Filamentous Non-enveloped Linear Monopartite
Closterovirus Filamentous Non-enveloped Linear Monopartite
Ampelovirus Filamentous Non-enveloped Linear Monopartite

Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the positive stranded RNA virus replication model. Positive stranded rna virus transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by tubule-guided viral movement. Plants serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are mechanical.[3][4]
