Species of virus
Abaca bract mosaic virus (ABrMV) is a plant pathogenic virus. It is transmitted by Pentalonia nigronervosa, Aphis gossypii, and Rhopalosiphum maidis.[1] The taxonomy is unknown, but it is thought to be a type of Potyvirus.[1]
Attempts have been made to sequence ABrMV.[2]
The virus is said to be a significant pathogen of the abaca, along with the Abaca bunchy top virus.[2]
Banana bract mosaic virus also infects the abaca,[3] but it is unknown whether the two viruses are related.
