Recently obtained molecular and biological information has prompted the revision of the taxonomic structure of the family Closteroviridae. In particular, mealybug- transmitted species have been separated from the genus Closterovirus and accommodated in a new genus named Ampelovirus (from ampelos, Greek for grapevine).

Bemisia tabaci transmits 111 of these species while Trialeurodes vaporariorum and T. abutilonia transmit three species each. B. tabaci and T. vaporariorum are present in the European–Mediterranean region, though the former is restricted in its distribution. Of the whitefly-transmitted virus species, 90% belong to the Begomovirus genus, 6% to the Crinivirus genus and the remaining 4% are in the Closterovirus, Ipomovirus or Carlavirus genera. Other named, whitefly-transmitted viruses that have not yet been ranked as species are also documented. The names, abbreviations and synonyms of the whitefly-transmitted viruses are presented in tabulated form together with details of their whitefly vectors, natural hosts and distribution. Entries are also annotated with references. Whitefly-transmitted viruses affecting plants in the European–Mediterranean region have been highlighted in the text.

  • Molecular Characterization of Criniviruses and Ilarviruses Infecting Strawberry
    I AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Ioannis E. Tzanetakis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular and Cellular Biology presented on March 19. 2004. Title: Molecular Characterization of Criniviruses and Ilarviruses Infecting Strawberry Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Robert R. Martin Pallidosis is a disease of strawbeny identified in 1957 withan unknown etiology. Two previously uncharacterized viruses in strawberry, Strawberry pallidosis associated virus (SPaV) and Beet pseudo-yellows virus (BPYV), have been found associated with disease symptoms. The complete nucleotidesequence of both viruses was determined and molecular detection protocols developed. In addition,an immunological tissue blot assay was developed for SPaV. Phylogenetic analysis of SPaV placed it in the genus Crinivirus, family Closteroviridae, along with BPYV. Transmission studies identified Trialeuroides vaporariorum, the greenhouse whitefly, as a vector of SPaV, while thevirus was not transmitted by pollen or seed. The geographic distribution of both SPaY and BPYV in the United States was examined. Two ilarviruses of strawbeny were investigated. Tobacco streak virus (TSV) is the type member of the genus Ilarvirus, family Bromoviridae, andcan cause severe yield 11 losses in small fruit crops. Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of 15 "TSV" isolates from Fragaria and Rubus revealed that they are homogeneous and represent a new virus species designated as Strawberry necrotic shock virus (SNSV). Nucleic acid-based protocols failed to identify any plants of the study infected with TSV an indication that the virus may not be a pathogen of Fragaria and Rubus. Fragaria chiloensis latent virus (FC1LV) is the second member of the genus ilarvirus that infects strawberry.
