Nomenclature

Synonyms

oat pupation disease virus, oat Siberian mosaic virus.

ICTV decimal code

69.0.1.T.DE.3

Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

• Avena sativa - light green stripes and spots in leaves and leaf sheaths, proliferic tillering, severe stunting and, often, sterility.

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector; an insect; Laodelphax striatellus; Delphacidae. Transmitted in a persistent manner. Virus not transmitted by mechanical inoculation; not transmitted by seed.

Geographical distribution

Spreads in the former USSR.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms

• Avena sativa - leaf chlorosis, excessive tillering and stunting.

Susceptible host species

• Avena sativa

Families containing susceptible hosts

• Gramineae (1/1)

Physical and biochemical properties

No data available.

Taxonomy and relationships

Possible Tenuivirus

Comments and References

General comments

Symptoms, persistent transmission by a delphacid planthopper vector and the possible presence of a non-capsid protein in infected plants suggest that the virus may be a tenuivirus.
