Abutilon yellows virus (AbYV (sometimes AYBPringle, C. R. "Virus taxonomy–San Diego 1998." Archives of Virology 143.7 (1998): 1449-1459.) is a virus of the genus Crinivirus.Martelli, G. P., A. A. Agranovsky, M. Bar-Joseph, D. Boscia, T. Candresse, R. H. A. Coutts, V. V. Dolja et al. "The family Closteroviridae revised." Archives of Virology 147, no. 10 (2002): 2039-2044.
Particle lengths were measured at 800-850 nm.Liu, H-Y., G. C. Wisler, and J. E. Duffus. "Particle lengths of whitefly-transmitted criniviruses." Plant Disease 84.7 (2000): 803-805. Partial sequencing has taken place but full sequencing was not complete as of 2008.Kataya, A. R. A., Stavridou, E., Farhan, K., & Livieratos, I. C. (2008). Nucleotide sequence analysis and detection of a Greek isolate of Tomato chlorosis virus. Plant pathology, 57(5), 819-824.
Criniviruses are considered a threat to crops, though less so than viruses the other whitefly transmitted virus genus Begomovirus, which are predominant in both number and effect.Wintermantel, W. M. (2004). Emergence of greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) transmitted criniviruses as threats to vegetable and fruit production in North America. APSnet feature.
Vector The vector is the banded-wing whitefly, Trialeurodes abutiloneus.Liu, H. Y., Li, R. H., Wisler, G. C., & Duffus, J. E. (1997). Characterization of Abutilon yellows virus–a new clostero-like virus transmitted by banded-wing whitefly (Trialeurodes abutilonea). Phytopathology, 87, S58-S59
