The Bromoviridae are a family of single-stranded DNA - virus positive polarity . Their natural hosts are plants . There are at least 33 species in this family, currently (as of March 2019) 6 genera.

construction

The virus particles ( virions ) of the Bromoviridae are not enveloped and have an icosahedral or rod-shaped ( bacilliform ) geometry, usually with T = 3 symmetry (icosahedral), but alfamovirus , oleavirus and possibly also anulavirus have T = 1 (bacilliform). The diameter is about 25-35  nm . The genome is linear and segmented into three parts (tripartite).

Propagation cycle

The viral replication is cytoplasmic and lysogenic, i. H. it happens in the cytoplasm and ends with the dissolution (lysis) of the host cell .

The replication follows the usual replication model of positive-strand RNA viruses.

Plants serve as natural hosts; the transmission routes are mechanical (e.g. through garden tools, inoculation ) and through contact (between parts of plants). The virus can also leave the host cell through tubular virus movement.

Systematics

Internal system

According to the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) as of March 2019, the internal systematics of the Bromoviridae are as follows:

Family Bromoviridae

External system

In 2015, Koonin et al taxonomically assigned the Bromoviridae (due to their relationship) to the supergroup 'Alphavirus-like superfamily' they postulated. According to this, sister groups are the families Virgaviridae and Closteroviridae . The members of this proposed supergroup belong to different groups of the Baltimore classification , usually they are single-stranded RNA viruses of positive polarity ((+) ssRNA, Baltimore group 4), but there are also double-stranded representatives (marked with dsRNA, Find Baltimore Group 3).

This suggestion has now been replaced by the ICTV Master Species List # 35 of March 2020. A comparison of the cladograms can be found in Tymovirales §ICTV Master Species List # 35 .

  13. Since this group (referred to by the authors as English superfamily ) contains an order with the Tymovirales , their rank must be higher than this and should not be understood as a superfamily . Ranks higher than order were not given by the ICTV at the time of the work.
