Proposed revision of the family Secoviridae taxonomy to create three subgenera, “Satsumavirus”, “Stramovirus” and “Cholivirus”, in the genus Sadwavirus

We present a taxonomic proposal for revision of the family Secoviridae , a taxon of plant viruses in the order Picornavirales . We propose the reorganization of the genus Sadwavirus to create three new subgenera and to update the classification of five existing species. The proposed subgenera are “...

Description
Summary:We present a taxonomic proposal for revision of the family Secoviridae , a taxon of plant viruses in the order Picornavirales . We propose the reorganization of the genus Sadwavirus to create three new subgenera and to update the classification of five existing species. The proposed subgenera are “ Satsumavirus ” (one species: Satsuma dwarf virus ), “ Stramovirus ” (two species: Strawberry mottle virus and Black raspberry necrosis virus ) and “ Cholivirus ” (two species: Chocolate lily virus A and Dioscorea mosaic associated virus ).
