Beet yellow stunt virus |
Closterovirus, also know as beet yellows viral group, is a plant-infecting viral genus included in family Closteroviridae. This genus has a probably worldwide distribution and includes among other viral species the Beet yellows virus and the tentatively assigned Citrus tristeza virus, rather economically important plant diseases. At least some species require vectors such as aphids or mealybugs for their transmission from plant to plant.
