Abstract

The history is outlined of the steps that, starting from the establishment of the “taxonomic group Closterovirus,” have brought to the erection of the family Closteroviridae, a taxon comprising plant viruses that possess very long helically constructed filamentous particles and a positive-sense single-stranded, monopartite or bipartite RNA genome and are transmitted either by aphids (genus Closterovirus), pseudococcid mealybugs/soft scale insects (genus Vitivirus), or whiteflies (genus Crinivirus) or have no known vector (genus Velarivirus).
