Family: Apiaceae Weed host
Anthriscus yellows virus (AYV)
Taxonomic position
Genus: Waikavirus Family: Secoviridae
Geographical distribution
AYV infection in plants of Anthriscus sylvestris was first reported from the UK by Murant and Goold (1968). The virus spreads in the Eurasian region and the UK (Hemida et al. 1989).
Symptoms and host(s)
The virus-infected cow parsley plants do not exhibit conspicuous symptoms.
Transmission
The virus is transmitted by an aphid vector, Cavariella aegopodii in a semi-persistent manner. The virus can help the vector transmission of another virus (Parsnip yellow fleck sequivirus) (Murant and Goold 1968; Elnagar and Murant 1976). The virus is not transmitted by mechanical inoculation.
Virion properties and genome
The virions are non-enveloped 25–30 nm in diameter and exhibit icosahedral symmetry (T = 1, pseudo T = 3). The genome is a monopartite linear positive-sense, single-stranded RNA (Hemida et al. 1989; Sanfacon et al. 2009; Hibino 2011; Sanfacon 2015...
