- Abstract
Summary: Hogweed virus 4 (HV4) was first described during a study of the apiaceous hedgerow weed Heracleum sphondylium (common name hogweed) in the late 1970s. The original isolate of this virus was retrieved from a historical virus isolate collection and the isolate was analysed using high throughput sequencing. The sequence from this isolate was revealed and compared to other publicly accessible virus sequences. HV4 appears to be a member of the genus Chordovirus, with greatest homology to Carrot chordovirus 1 with a nucleotide identity of 70.44% in the CP region and 67.14% in the RNA-dependant RNA Polymerase (RdRp) region. According to species demarcation criteria, set by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, the revealed sequence indicates that the virus is a distinct species and a fourth member of the genus Chordovirus to have the full genome reported, and a third virus from the genus which infects plants of the Apiaceae.
