Abstract

A new virus affecting currants was detected in the Czech Republic in several cultivars of black, red and white currants and in a currant colonized by the aphid Cryptomyzus ribis. The infection was not associated with any symptoms on the plants. The virus has a divided genome consisting of two single-stranded, polyadenylated RNAs, and partial sequences of RNA1 and RNA2 indicate that it is closely related to Cherry rasp leaf virus and Apple latent spherical virus (Secoviridae). It is regarded as a new member in the genus Cheravirus, and the name Currant latent virus (CuLV) is proposed.
