AI Article Synopsis

  • - Researchers identified a new virus from the Ilarvirus genus infecting Cape gooseberry in Antioquia, Colombia, during a high-throughput sequencing project.
  • - The virus was found in a mixed infection with potato virus Y (PVY) and confirmed using nested RT-PCR and DAS-ELISA techniques.
  • - The new virus, named "Cape gooseberry ilarvirus 1" (CGIV-1), is related to ageratum latent virus and belongs to subgroup 1 based on phylogenetic analysis.

Article Abstract

As part of an initiative to characterize viruses infecting Cape gooseberry in the province of Antioquia (Colombia), we report the genome sequence of a new member of the genus Ilarvirus (family Bromoviridae). This virus was identified in a Cape gooseberry plot in the municipality of Marinilla in a mixed infection with potato virus Y (PVY) as part of high-throughput sequencing initiative. Results were confirmed by nested RT-PCR and DAS-ELISA. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the Cape gooseberry ilarvirus is a new member of subgroup 1 and it is most closely related to ageratum latent virus (AgLV). The name "Cape gooseberry ilarvirus 1" (CGIV-1) is proposed for this new ilarvirus.
