Carnation latent virus group" is a genus ofvirus that infects plants. It contains thirty-five described species and twenty-nine tentative species. (Astier)Infection is at times spread by
aphid s in a semi-persistent mode, that is, the vector is infective for a number of hours.(Pimentel) Some species are transmitted by "Bemisia tabaci " in a semi-persistent mode or through the seed.(Astier) Most species infect only a few hosts and cause infections with few or no symptoms, for example, American hop latent virus and lily symptomless virus. Some, such as blueberry scorch virus and poplar mosaic virus, cause serious illnesses. (Foster)Virions have straight or slightly flexuous filaments. Some authorities say that the Family is undetermined; others classify Carlavirus as Family
Flexiviridae . It is a positive stranded ssRNA virus.References
