RESUMO
Two new RNA viruses were identified in Ageratum conyzoides in China using high-throughput sequencing, and their genome sequences were determined using PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The new viruses, which have positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genomes, were provisionally named "ageratum virus 1" (AgV1) and "ageratum virus 2" (AgV2). AgV1 has a genome of 3,526 nucleotides with three open reading frames (ORFs) and shares 49.9% nucleotide sequence identity with the complete genome of Ethiopian tobacco bushy top virus (genus Umbravirus, family Tombusviridae). The genome of AgV2 consists of 5,523 nucleotides and contains five ORFs that are commonly observed in members of the genus Enamovirus of the family Solemoviridae. Proteins encoded by AgV2 exhibited the highest amino acid sequence similarity (31.7-75.0% identity) to the corresponding proteins of pepper enamovirus R1 (an unclassified enamovirus) and citrus vein enation virus (genus Enamovirus). Based on their genome organization, sequence, and phylogenetic relationships, AgV1 is proposed to be a new umbra-like virus of the family Tombusviridae, and AgV2 is proposed to be a new member of the genus Enamovirus of the family Solemoviridae.

BACKGROUND: Patients with malignancy are at a higher risk of developing nosocomial infections. However, limited studies investigated the clinical features and prognostic factors of nosocomial infections due to fungi in cancer patients. Herein, this study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics of in-hospital fungal infections and develop a nomogram to predict the risk of in-hospital death during fungal infection of hospitalized cancer patients. METHODS: This retrospective observational study enrolled cancer patients who experienced in-hospital fungal infections between September 2013 and September 2021. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. Variables demonstrating significant statistical differences in the multivariate analysis were utilized to construct a nomogram for personalized prediction of in-hospital death risk associated with nosocomial fungal infections. The predictive performance of the nomogram was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis. RESULTS: A total of 216 participants were included in the study, of which 57 experienced in-hospital death. C.albicans was identified as the most prevalent fungal species (68.0%). Respiratory infection accounted for the highest proportion of fungal infections (59.0%), followed by intra-abdominal infection (8.8%). The multivariate regression analysis revealed that Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) 3-4 (odds ratio [OR] = 6.08, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.04-18.12), pulmonary metastases (OR = 2.76, 95%CI: 1.11-6.85), thrombocytopenia (OR = 2.58, 95%CI: 1.21-5.47), hypoalbuminemia (OR = 2.44, 95%CI: 1.22-4.90), and mechanical ventilation (OR = 2.64, 95%CI: 1.03-6.73) were independent risk factors of in-hospital death. A nomogram based on the identified risk factors was developed to predict the individual probability of in-hospital mortality. The nomogram demonstrated satisfactory performance in terms of classification ability (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.759), calibration ability, and net clinical benefit. CONCLUSIONS: Fungi-related nosocomial infections are prevalent among cancer patients and are associated with poor prognosis. The constructed nomogram provides an invaluable tool for oncologists, enabling them to make timely and informed clinical decisions that offer substantial net clinical benefit to patients.

Calystegia hederacea (Convolvulaceae) is one of the most problematic perennial weeds widely distributed around or in crop fields. Our previous studies showed that C. hederacea is natural reservoir of sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus isolate CH (SPCSV-CH) and sweet potato latent virus (SPLV) (Liu et al. 2020; Zhao et al. 2022). To shed further light on the role of C. hederacea in the epidemiology of sweet potato viruses, in May 2021, a total of seven C. hederacea plants (five asymptomatic, one curling and one mild vein-clearing) were collected from two different sweet potato fields in Xinxiang city of Henan Province in China. Total RNA was prepared from a pool of the seven leaf samples using the EZNA Plant RNA Kit (Omega Bio-Tek, Norcross, GA). A library was constructed from the ribosomal-depleted RNA using the NEBNext Ultra Directional RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (NEB, MA, USA) and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq platform (Novogene, Tianjin, China). A total of 139,057,020 paired-end clean reads of 150 bp were obtained after removing adaptor sequences and low-quality reads and used for de novo assembly using the Trinity (v2.2.0) software. Blast searches of the assembled contigs longer than 200 bp against NCBI nucleotide and protein sequence databases revealed the presence of 37 contigs (237 to 4885 bp) and 19 contigs (261 to 758 bp) with high nucleotide (nt) identity with SPLV and SPCSV-CH, respectively. The occurrence of SPLV and SPCSV-CH on C. hederacea was previously reported, and thus the contig sequences related to SPLV and SPCSV-CH were not subjected to further verification in this study. In addition, one contig (2,827 bp) with the highest nt sequence identity of 94.94% with sweet potato leaf curl Hubei virus (SPLCHbV, genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae, accession no. MK931304) was assembled from 16,592 reads, with average coverage depth of 740.5X. These results suggested the presence of SPLCHbV in C. hederacea. To further confirm the RNA sequencing result, each of the seven samples was tested by PCR using partially overlapping (italicized nucleotides) forward and reverse primers (SweeIn-F1, 5`-GGAGGAAGCTAAGTACGAGAATCAGTTAGAG-3`; SweeIn-R1, 5`-GCTTCCTCCTTGTGATTGTAAGTAACATGG-3`) that were designed based on the SPLCHbV-related contig for amplification of circular DNA viral genome (approximately 2.7 kb). Two symptomatic and three symptomless C. hederacea samples were SPLCHbV positive, indicating that virus-like symptoms of the two C. hederacea samples were probably not induced by SPLCHbV. Two of the five amplified products were completely sequenced and deposited to GenBank (accession nos. OQ551733 and OQ551734). Sequences analysis showed that the complete genome sequences of two SPLCHbV C. headrace isolates (2,763 nt and 2,761 nt) had 96.53% nt identity with each other and 95.92 to 97.70% nt identity with that of SPLCHbV isolate Shandong7-2017 (MK931304). In August 2021, fourteen C. hederacea plants (three symptomatic, 11 asymptomatic) collected from natural fields from Zhumadian and Pingdingshan cities in Henan Province, were tested by PCR using SweeIn-F1/R1 primers for SPLCHbV, showing that eight samples were SPLCHbV positive. SPLCHbV belongs to the sweepoviruses, a group of phylogenetically distinct begomoviruses infecting sweet potato, and was reported to infect sweet potato from many provinces of China (Wang et al., 2021). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of SPLCHbV infection in C. hederacea, which expands the natural host range of SPLCHbV.
RESUMO
Sweet potato is a global root crop, with a worldwide production of 91.5 million tons in 2019 (FAOSTAT, 2019). However, virus diseases cause significant yield losses and quality decline in sweet potato. Up to now, over 30 different viruses have been identified in sweet potato (Clark et al. 2012). Expanding knowledge of the host range of sweet potato viruses will provide a benefit for the understanding of virus occurrence and designing appropriate virus control measures. In August 2019, ten Calystegia hederacea and two Convolvulus arvensis (Convolvulaceae) weed plants with or without symptoms of leaf yellowing symptoms were collected from various virus disease-affected sweet potato fields in four cities (Jiaozuo, Xinxiang, Zhengzhou and Kaifeng) of Henan Province for virus detection. The leaves of these plants were harvested and pooled for total RNA extraction using a Plant Total RNA Purification Kit (GMbiolab, Taichung, Taiwan). A library for high-throughput sequencing (HTS) was constructed and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform by BGI Tech (Shenzhen, China). Clean reads (n = 100,570,346), each 150 bp in length, were de novo assembled using CLC Genomics Workbench 9.5 (Qiagen, USA). The assembled contigs were analyzed against the viral reference genome database in GenBank using the BLASTN and BLASTX searches. Three contigs related to sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV, genus Crinivirus, family Closteroviridae) were identified (Liu et al. 2021). In addition, a total of 20 contigs, ranging from 1,019 to 9,859 bp in length with an average depth of coverage of 1439.26, showed 74.80-87.59% nucleotide (nt) sequence identities with corresponding sequences of sweet potato latent virus (SPLV, genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae). The sequence of the 9,859-bp contig covering nearly complete genome sequence for SPLV, was deposited in GenBank (accession no.OL625609). These results demonstrated the presence of genetically diverse isolates of SPLV in the pooled samples. To further confirm the HTS result, each of the 12 samples were tested by RT-PCR using SPLV primers (SPLV-F1: 5'-AATGCCAAGGCTACAAGGAGT-3' and SPLV-R1: 5'-CAAGTAGTGTGTGTATGTTCC-3') that targets a partial conserved region of the coat protein gene in SPLV and SPCSV primers designed based on three contigs (ctg1-F1/R1, ctg2-F1/R1, and ctg3-F1/R1) (Liu et al. 2021), respectively. As a result, four symptomless C. hederacea samples tested positive for SPLV, yielding the expected approximately 500 bp PCR fragment, and one leaf yellowing C. hederacea sample tested positive for SPCSV (Liu et al. 2021). The sequences obtained from two of the four amplicons of SPLV (MZ089700 and OM056706) showed 90.2 and 89.8% nt (100 and 99.4% amino acid) identities with the corresponding sequences of the SPLV isolate Shaanxi1 from sweet potato (HQ844148). In 2021, a further 45 C. hederacea plants collected from Shangqiu (n = 6), Xinxiang (n =30) and Pingdingshan (n = 9) cities in Henan Province, were screened by RT-PCR with SPLV-F1/R1 primers, giving an incidence of 33.33%. SPLV is an important potyvirus infecting sweet potato. SPLV is asymptomatic in most sweet potato cultivars in single infection but is able to mediate synergistic viral disease in co-infection with SPCSV (Untiveros et al. 2007). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of SPLV in C. hederacea. The finding reported here indicated that C. hederacea may act as a reservoir of SPLV and possible infection source for the sweet potato crop.
RESUMO
Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV; genus Crinivirus, family Closteroviridae) is one of the most destructive viruses infecting sweet potatoes. In this study, we determined the complete genome sequence of an SPCSV-like isolate (CH) from Calystegia hederacea Wall. (Convolvulaceae), a weed species related to sweet potato, by combining next-generation sequencing and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. Comparisons of genome sequences and organization confirmed the classification of CH as SPCSV. However, the sequences and phylogenetic data revealed substantial genetic divergence between CH and all known SPCSV isolates. The amino acid sequence identity between the putative proteins in SPCSV-CH and the corresponding proteins in other known SPCSV isolates in each case was less than 85.0%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that SPCSV-CH is separate from the groups of the known SPCSV isolates. Additionally, SPCSV-CH RNA1 lacks a p22 gene. A 10.1-kDa putative protein (p10) encoded by a sequence in the 5'-terminal region of RNA2 in SPCSV-CH is much larger than the corresponding protein in all known SPCSV isolates.

A novel varicosa-like virus was identified in a tall morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea) plant by high-throughput sequencing and tentatively named "morning glory varicosavirus" (MGVV). The complete genome of MGVV contains two segments of negative-sense single-stranded RNA of 6409 (RNA1) and 5288 (RNA2) nucleotides. RNA1 encodes a 224.3-kDa large protein (224K), and RNA2 encodes four putative proteins of 48.6 kDa (49K), 46.4 kDa (46K), 35.7 kDa (36K), and 36.8 kDa (37K), respectively. The 224K and 49K proteins show amino acid sequence similarity to the large protein (39.4%) and the 49K protein (22.6%), respectively, of red clover-associated varicosavirus, and the 36K protein shares 19.6% amino acid sequence similarity with protein 3 of lettuce big-vein associated virus. The 46K and 37K proteins share no significant sequence similarity to known functional viral sequences. Phylogenetic analysis based on the large protein of MGVV and other rhabdoviruses showed that MGVV clustered with the varicosaviruses. These analyses indicate that MGVV is a novel member of the genus Varicosavirus in the family Rhabdoviridae.

BACKGROUND Impaired heart function induced by myocardial infarction is a leading cause of chronic heart failure (HF). This study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanism of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in a rat model of HF due to myocardial infarction. MATERIAL AND METHODS To explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of NIPPV on acute myocardial infarction-induced HF, we established a rat model of HF by ligating the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery and confirmed by ultrasonic cardiography and brain natriuretic peptide 45 detection. RESULTS The levels of heat-shock protein (HSP)-70 increased and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha decreased in the group that received NIPPV treatment compared with the control group. In addition, the histopathologic results showed less severe inflammatory infiltration and a smaller area of myocardial fibrosis in the NIPPV treatment group. CONCLUSIONS In a rat model of HF due to myocardial infarction, NIPPV resulted in increased levels of HSP70 and reduced expression of MMP2, MMP9, and TNF-alpha and reduced myocardial neutrophil infiltration and fibrosis. Taken together, we showed that NIPPV is an effective treatment for HF induced by myocardial infarction by inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors and preventing microvascular embolism.

BACKGROUND: To analyze the risk factors for hypertension in different age groups of urban and rural residents in Tianjin. METHODS: A total of 33,997 people (35-75 years old) from 13 community health service centers and primary hospitals in Tianjin participated in this study. They were divided into the youth group (≤ 40 years old), middle-aged group (41-65 years old), and elderly group (> 65 years old). Then, a questionnaire survey was administered, followed by physical and blood biochemical examinations. The demographic characteristics and prevalence were recorded and counted. Subsequently, risk factors were analyzed using univariate and stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: In the youth, middle-aged, and elderly groups, the prevalence rate of hypertension was 18.65, 51.80, and 76.61%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that obesity(OR: 3.263, 95% CI: 1.039-1.656), men (OR: 2.117, 95% CI: 1.691-2.651), diabetes (OR: 1.978, 95% CI: 1.398-2.799), high triglycerides(OR 1.968 95% CI: 1.590-2.434) and family history of stroke (OR: 1.936, 95% CI: 1.287-2.911) are the five factors in youth. In middle-aged group, the significantly associating factors were obesity (OR: 2.478, 95% CI: 2.330-2.636), diabetes (OR: 2.173, 95% CI: 1.398-2.799), family history of stroke (OR: 1.808, 95% CI: 1.619-2.020), maleness (OR: 1.507, 95% CI: 1.412-1.609),Hypertriglyceridemia (OR 1.490 95% CI: 1.409-1.577),family history of cardiovascular disease (OR: 1.484, 95% CI: 1.307-1.684),Hypercholesterolemia (OR 1.228 95% CI: 1.160-1.299). In the elderly group, obesity (OR: 2.104, 95% CI: 1.830-2.418), family history of strokes (OR: 1.688, 95% CI: 1.243-2.292), diabetes mellitus (OR: 1.544, 95% CI: 1.345-1.773), family history of cardiovascular disease (OR: 1.470, 95% CI: 1.061-2.036), hypertriglyceridemia (OR: 1.348, 95% CI: 1.192-1.524) increased the risk for hypertension. Waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) increased with age, and the value of these two measures for predicting hypertension was better than BMI in middle-aged group. CONCLUSION: Obesity is the most important risk factor for hypertension in all age groups. Diabetes, family history of strokes and high triglyceride were also significant risk factors for all age groups. There was a gender difference between the young and middle-aged groups, with men more likely to hypertension. Waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were better predictors of hypertension than BMI in middle-aged group.

An evaluation of the virus population in rice plants using next-generation sequencing technologies resulted in the discovery of a new RNA virus, tentatively named rice virus A (RVA). The complete RVA genome sequence was determined and analyzed, revealing a genome organization resembling that of viruses classified in the genera Aureusvirus, Tombusvirus and Zeavirus within the family Tombusviridae. With 4,832 nucleotides, the RVA genome may be the largest monopartite genome sequenced to date in the family Tombusviridae. The 453-amino acid RVA coat protein shares the highest identity with the gp3 protein of an unclassified carascovirus, SF1 (GenBank accession no. KF510027) isolated from San Francisco wastewater, rather than the coat protein of any known member of the family Tombusviridae. These novel characteristics represent a significant divergence from the genomes of viruses belonging to the sixteen existing genera of the family Tombusviridae, demonstrating that RVA is likely a new family member.

Two novel viruses, isolated in Bonghwa, Republic of Korea, from an Ixeridium dentatum plant with yellowing mottle symptoms, have been provisionally named Ixeridium yellow mottle-associated virus 1 (IxYMaV-1) and Ixeridium yellow mottle-associated virus 2 (IxYMaV-2). IxYMaV-1 has a genome of 6,017 nucleotides sharing a 56.4% sequence identity with that of cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (genus Polerovirus). The IxYMaV-2 genome of 4,196 nucleotides has a sequence identity of less than 48.3% with e other species classified within the genus Umbravirus. Genome properties and phylogenetic analysis suggested that IxYMaV-1 and -2 are representative isolates of new species classifiable within the genus Polerovirus and Umbravirus, respectively.

From Daphne odora Thunb., an ornamental shrub in the Republic of Korea, a potyvirus was identified that has an RNA genome of 9,448 nucleotides (excluding the 3'-terminal poly(A) tail) encoding a polyprotein of 3,065 amino acids, with nine putative protease cleavage sites producing ten proteins. Since this potyvirus shared the highest nucleotide sequence identity (91 %; query coverage 5 %) with the available partial sequence of daphne virus Y (DVY) from New Zealand (EU179854), it was considered a Korean isolate of DVY. This is the first molecular characterization of the complete genome sequence of a DVY isolate.

The complete genome sequence of ligustrum virus A (LVA) from a Ligustrum obtusifolium Sieb. & Zucc. plant was determined. The genomic RNA has 8,525 nucleotides, excluding the poly(A) tail, and consists of six open reading frames typical of members of the genus Carlavirus, family Betaflexiviridae. Phylogenetic analysis of the viral replicase and coat protein (CP) indicated that LVA is closely related to daphne virus S and helenium virus. The replicase and CP of LVA shared 44.73-52.35 % and 25.39-62.46 % amino acid identity, respectively, with those of other carlaviruses. These results suggest that LVA is a member of a distinct carlavirus species.

The complete nucleotide sequence of a new barley polerovirus, tentatively named barley virus G (BVG), which was isolated in Gimje, South Korea, has been determined using an RNA sequencing technique combined with polymerase chain reaction methods. The viral genomic RNA of BVG is 5,620 nucleotides long and contains six typical open reading frames commonly observed in other poleroviruses. Sequence comparisons revealed that BVG is most closely related to maize yellow dwarf virus-RMV, with the highest amino acid identities being less than 90 % for all of the corresponding proteins. These results suggested that BVG is a member of a new species in the genus Polerovirus.

The complete genome of a putative new endornavirus infecting hot peppers (Capsicum annuum) was determined to be 14,729 nt in size, including 12 cytosines at the 3' end. The hot pepper-infecting virus has the highest nucleotide sequence similarity (94% query cover and 72% identity) to bell pepper endornavirus (BPEV) isolated from the cultivar Yolo Wonder in the USA (GenBank accession no. JN019858). The putative single, large open reading frame encodes a 4,884-amino-acid-long polyprotein that contains four putative functional domains: a viral methyltransferase, a viral RNA helicase, a glycosyltransferase, and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. A phylogenetic tree based on whole polyprotein sequences confirmed the close evolutionary relationship of the studied endornavirus to BPEV. The hot pepper-infecting virus also has a nick at nt position 975. Taken together, these results suggest that this virus belongs to a new species in the genus Endornavirus (family Endornaviridae), for which the name hot pepper endornavirus (HPEV) is proposed.

RNA from a Chinese cabbage plant (Brassica campestris ssp. pekinensis) showing leaf malformation and mottling was labeled and hybridized to a DNA chip capable of detecting plant viruses and viroids. Probes specific for beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV) and beet western yellows virus (BWYV) yielded positive results, suggesting that the plant was infected by a polerovirus. Primers designed from the sequences of the positive probes were used to amplify and sequence one portion of the viral genome. This sequence showed a 90 % or greater identity to several poleroviruses, including BMYV, BWYV, beet chlorosis virus (BChV) and turnip yellows virus (TuYV). The complete genome sequence of the Chinese cabbage-infecting polerovirus consisted of 5,666 nt and was most closely related to brassica yellows virus (BrYV; 94 % identity). The virus was named BrYV-Cheongsong (BrYV-CS). However, ORF3, ORF4 and the 5' half of ORF5 of BrYV-CS were more closely related to those of TuYV, BWYV, BChV and BMYV than to those of BrYV. Interestingly, a recombination event (positions 3531-4819 in BrYV-CS) was detected when this sequence was aligned with those of BrYV and TuYV. This region showed the highest sequence identity to that of TuYV (94 % identity) and had greater than 93 % identity to those of BWYV, BChV and BMYV, but it shared only 81 % identity with that of BrYV. Taken together, the genomes of BrYV-CS and BrYV are closely related. However, the structural genes in the 3' half of the genome of BrYV-CS are more closely related to those of other poleroviruses.

The genome of tetterwort vein chlorosis virus (TVCV) from South Korea has been completely sequenced. Its genomic organization resembles those of other criniviruses, with several new features, indicating that TVCV is a member of a new species in the genus Crinivirus, family Closteroviridae. RNA1 contains 8467 nucleotides, with at least four opening reading frames (ORFs). ORF1a encodes a protein with predicted papain-like protease, methyltransferase, and helicase activities. ORF1b encodes a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that is apparently expressed through a +1 ribosomal frameshift. RNA2 contains 8113 nucleotides encoding at least nine proteins, similar to most crinivirus RNA2s. The 3' untranslated regions of the bipartite RNA genome share 82.1% nucleotide sequence identity.

The complete genome sequence of a member of a distinct species of the genus Carlavirus in the family Betaflexiviridae, tentatively named atractylodes mottle virus (AtrMoV), has been determined. Analysis of its genomic organization indicates that it has a single-stranded, positive-sense genomic RNA of 8866 nucleotides, excluding the poly(A) tail, and consists of six open reading frames typical of members of the genus Carlavirus. The individual open reading frames of AtrMoV show moderately low sequence similarity to those of other carlaviruses at the nucleotide and amino acid sequence levels. Pairwise comparison and phylogenetic analysis suggest that AtrMoV is most closely related to chrysanthemum virus B.

The complete genomic sequence of lychnis mottle virus (LycMoV) from a Lychnis cognata plant was determined. LycMoV has a bipartite genome consisting of RNA1 (7,428 nt) and RNA2 (3,734 nt). Species in the family Secoviridae are demarcated based on their amino acid similarities in the protease-polymerase and coat protein. In LycMoV, these proteins share 90% and 63% sequence similarity, respectively, with the most closely related virus, strawberry latent ringspot virus, which is a member of the family Secoviridae but has not been assigned to a genus. Therefore, LycMoV is a tentative new virus of the family Secoviridae.

A total of nine contigs related to caulimovirus-like sequences were detected using high-throughput paired-end RNA sequencing. An attempt to find the plant sample infected with this type of virus identified the medicinal plant Atractylodes macrocephala Koidzumi showing mild mottle symptoms. Subsequently, the complete DNA genome sequence of the Atractylodes virus was determined. The 8,105-nt genome of the virus was composed of six open reading frames and displayed the highest nucleotide sequence identity (70%) with soybean Putnam virus. Based upon the symptoms observed on the source plant, we propose to refer to this new member of the genus Caulimovirus as atractylodes mild mottle virus.

We determined the complete genome sequences of two isolates of cnidium vein yellowing virus (CnVYV-1 and -2) that co-infected all field samples collected from Cnidium officinale in Korea. Unlike CnVYV-2, however, CnVYV-1 was sap-transmissible to Nicotiana benthamiana. CnVYV-1 and -2 have bipartite genomes of 7,263 and 3,110 nucleotides and 7,278 and 3,112 nucleotides, respectively, excluding the poly(A) tails. Phylogenetic analysis of the CnVYV-1 and -2 sequences indicated close relationships to strawberry latent ringspot virus, an unassigned member of the family Secoviridae. CnVYV-1 and CnVYV-2 are closely related viruses that may represent a tentative new species of the family Secoviridae.
