Abstract

Some members of genus Colletotrichum are important plant pathogens. Here, we report a novel positive single-stranded RNA virus, Colletotrichum camelliae hypovirus 1 (CcHV1), from strain GXNN11-2 of Colletotrichum camelliae. The complete genome of CcHV1 is 9907 nucleotides (nt) in length and contains a single large open reading frame (ORF) from nt 352 to 9006. This ORF encodes a polyprotein with four conserved domains, namely UDP-glycosyltransferase, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), peptidase, and DEAD-like helicase. The CcHV1 polyprotein shares the highest similarity with Fusarium concentricum hypovirus 1. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that CcHV1 clustered with members of the genus Betahypovirus within the family Hypoviridae. This is the first report of a hypovirus in a member of the genus Colletotrichum.
