The general properties of potyviruses

  • Chapter
Potyvirus Taxonomy

Part of the book series: Archives of Virology ((ARCHIVES SUPPL,volume 5))

Summary

The criteria used during the past three decades for including viruses in the potyvirus group are briefly discussed and evaluated. The biological and physico-chemical properties of the viruses transmitted by aphids, mites, whiteflies, or the fungus Polymyxa graminis are reviewed, and the taxonomic value of their molecular properties in regrouping the viruses into four groups or genera within the family Potyviridae is discussed.
