The complete nucleotide sequence of Passiflora latent virus and its phylogenetic relationship to other carlaviruses.
A virus identified as Passiflora latent virus (PLV) was isolated from passion fruit plants. Particle morphology, host range and serological properties suggested that this virus belongs to the genus Carlavirus. The complete genomic sequence of PLV was determined by sequencing overlapping cDNA fragments. The genome consisted of 8386 nt, excluding the poly (A) tail and contained six open reading frames, typical of carlaviruses. The overall similarities of the predicted amino acid sequence of PLV to those of other carlaviruses ranged from 25 to 73%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that PLV was closely related to lily symptomless virus and blueberry scorch virus. This is the first report of the complete nucleotide sequence and genome structure of PLV.
