Emaravirus is a genus of plant viruses and the sole genus in the family Fimoviridae.[1] The genus has 11 species. The type species European mountain ash ringspot-associated emaravirus is associated with a leaf mottling and ringspot disease of European mountain ash Sorbus aucuparia. It can be transmitted by grafting and possibly mites.[2]

Structure

Virions of this genus are between 80–100 nm and consists of an enveloped ribonucleocapsid that exhibits helical symmetry. The genomes are segmented, consisting of four strands of negative-sense single-stranded RNA.

Taxonomy

Emaravirus has the closest phylogenetic relationship with members of the genera Orthotospovirus and Orthobunyavirus. The 3' and 5' ends of the genomic RNAs are complementary (similar to viruses of the Bunyavirales order), with the sequence 5'-AGUAGUGUUCUCC-3' at the 5' terminus and 5'-GGAGUUCACUACU-3' at the 3' terminus. However, the number of genome segments and gene sequences distinguishes emaraviruses from bunyaviruses and tenuiviruses.

Species

The following species are recognized:
