TABLE 4.
virion morphology of viruses encoding an SP24 matrix protein
| Genus | Type species | Morphology | Host(s) | Reference(s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chroparavirus (proposed) | Chronic bee paralysis virus | Ellipsoidal, different populations (220 by 41, 54, or 64 nm), treatment with acid or base solutions results in more rounded, apparently empty shells (20–30 by 20–50 nm) | Insects (bees, mosquitoes) | 65 |
| Cilevirus | Citrus Leprosis virus C | Short, membrane-bound, enveloped, bacilliform particles (40–50 by 80–120 nm) | Plants (citrus), insects (erythrophyte mites) | 60, 72, 73 |
| Higrevirus | Hibiscus green spot virus | Short, bacilliform particles (30 by 50 nm) | Plant (hibiscus), insects (erythrophyte mites) | 61 |
| Blunervirus (proposed) | Blueberry necrotic ring blotch virus | Unknown | Plant (blueberry), probably transmitted by erythrophyte mites | |
| Negevirus | Negev virus | Spherical, enveloped particles (45–55 nm) | Insects (mosquitoes, phlebotomine sand flies) | 57 |
