Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Blackberry yellow vein disease (BYVD) is an important viral disease in blackberry. Recently, several new viruses associated with BYVD have been identified, one of which is the subject of this communication. Experiments were conducted to characterize the virus, determine its geographic distribution and population structure in the United States. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the close relationship of the virus with Grapevine leafroll associated virus-3, the type member of genus Ampelovirus in the family Closteroviridae. Analysis of nucleotide and amino acid diversities among the U.S. isolates revealed considerable variations in all three regions studied.
