Nomenclature

ICTV decimal code

62.0.4.T.DE.1

Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Apium graveolens var. rapaceum, but only found in plants also infected with celery mosaic potyvirus, so the symptoms caused by CTV alone are unknown.

Transmission

Virus not transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting.

Geographical distribution

Spreads in the Mediterranean region; Italy.

Experimental host range

Few (<3) families susceptible.

Susceptible host species

• Apium graveolens
• Apium graveolens var. rapaceum

Families containing susceptible hosts

• Umbelliferae (2/2)

Physical and biochemical properties

Particle morphology

Virions rhabdo- or bullet-shaped; with a clear modal length; of 360 nm; 65-70 nm wide.

Cytopathology

Virions found in Virions found within cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum; in cytoplasm.

Taxonomy and relationships
