A NitroPure Nitrocellulose Membrane-Based Grapevine Virus Sampling Kit: Development and Deployment to Survey Japanese Vineyards and Nurseries. Viruses 2023; 15:2102. [PMID: 37896878 PMCID: PMC10612103 DOI: 10.3390/v15102102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
We developed a NitroPure Nitrocellulose (NPN) membrane-based method for sampling and storing grapevine sap for grapevine virus detection. We devised an efficient nucleic acid extraction method for the NPN membrane, resulting in 100% amplification success for grapevine leafroll-associated virus 2 (GLRaV2) and 3 (GLRaV3), grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus (GRSPaV), grapevine virus A, grapevine virus B, and grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV). This method also allowed the storage of recoverable nucleic acid for 18 months at room temperature. We created a sampling kit to survey GLRaV2, GLRaV3, and GRBV in Japanese vineyards. We tested the kits in the field in 2018 and then conducted mail-in surveys in 2020-2021. The results showed a substantial prevalence of GLRaV3, with 48.5% of 132 sampled vines being positive. On the other hand, only 3% of samples tested positive for GLRaV2 and none for GRBV.

Abstract
Pear chlorotic leaf spot associated virus (PCLSaV) belongs to the genus Emaravirus and possesses a genome composed of five negative-sense single-stranded RNA (-ssRNA) segments. This study developed a SYBR green-based reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) assay for the detection of PCLSaV infecting pear trees. A set of two primers q5-F2/q5-R2 designed based on the viral RNA5 sequences showed high specificity and feasibility for PCLSaV detection. The standard curve was established. RT-qPCR assays showed that PCLSaV content was greatly higher in diseased branch and symptomatic leaf samples than that in un-diseased branch and asymptomatic leaf samples. The RT-qPCR was reliability in the detection of the virus in field and in-vitro cultured pear samples. This technique would be useful for the supervision of the viral disease and the certification of pear planting materials.

Abstract
Shoot tip culture is a very effective approach for studying plant viruses. In this study, we evaluated the numbers, diversity, and titer of grapevine viruses in in vitro grapevine plants after long shoot tip culture. Six virus-infected grapevine cultivars (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Gernischt, Cabernet Sauvignon, Wink, Victoria, and Merlot) collected from six regions of China were used as the research materials. Approximately 1.5 cm long shoot tips were used for meristem culture. The average survival rate of the six grapevine cultivars was 45.7%. Merlot collected from Beijing showed the highest survival rate (80.0%). Regeneration was not achieved in Cabernet Gernischt collected from Liaoning province and Cabernet Sauvignon from Tianjin due to bacterial and fungal contamination. Virus detection conducted in the surviving regenerated plants showed that the virus infection status, including the viral numbers and the species present in plants grown in vitro, was the same as that in corresponding in vivo plants. Moreover, the analysis of sequence diversity and the mutation frequency in grapevine viruses in vitro indicated that the structure of grapevine viruses was stable in long shoot tip culture after four sub-culture passages. Further, the relative viral titer of in vitro grapevine plants was much higher than that of in vivo plants. These results aid in the investigation of viruses in woody plants.

Abstract
Grapevine leafroll disease (GLD) is one of the most economically important viral diseases of grapevines. GLD is caused by a complex of several ssRNA (+) viruses referred to as Grapevine leafroll-associated viruses (GLRaVs). To date, five different GLRaV species have been identified. One of those species, GLRaV-7, was first reported from a symptomless white-fruited wine grape cultivar from Albania. Since its discovery, GLRaV-7 has been reported from 14 countries. Although serological assays have been developed to detect GLRaV-7, commercially available antibodies produce high background signals making them unsuitable for regulatory testing. Furthermore, while molecular detection assays have been shown to be more sensitive when compared to the serological assays, published molecular assays, except the one Reverse Transcription-quantitaive Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) assay based on heat shock protein 70 homologue (HSP70h) gene, have been reported to be inadequate in detecting all reported isolates of GLRaV-7. Availability of multiple assays provides flexibility to diagnostic laboratories in cases where the chosen assay fails to detect a strain or an isolate of a pathogen due to variation in its targeted region or where additional confirmation of the results is required. In this study, we developed a sensitive and specific RT-qPCR assay, based on a region of p61 gene of GLRaV-7, which detected all available isolates.

Abstract
Biological indexing is the method generally recognized for the certification of propagative grapevines in many countries, and it is mandatory in the European Union. It consists of the evaluation of the plant material after grafting on indicators that are inspected for symptom development. This is a lengthy process that requires well-trained workers, testing field, etc. Alternative diagnostic methods such as serology and RT-qPCR have been discarded for certification because of their intrinsic drawbacks. In turn, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) of plant RNA has been proposed as a plausible alternative to bioassay, but before it is accepted, different aspects of this process must be evaluated. We have compared the HTS of small RNAs with bioassays and other diagnostic methods from a set of 40 grapevine plants submitted for certification. The results allowed the authors the identification of numerous grapevine viruses in the samples, as well as different variants. Besides, relationships between symptom expression and viromes were investigated, in particular leafroll-associated viruses. We compared HTS results using analytical and bioinformatics approaches in order to define minimum acceptable quality standards for certification schemes, resulting in a pipeline proposal. Finally, the comparison between HTS and bioassay resulted favorable for the former in terms of reliability, cost, and timing.

Abstract
Viral diseases can seriously damage the vineyard productivity and the quality of grape and wine products. Therefore, the study of the species composition and range of grapevine viruses is important for the development and implementation of strategies and tactics to limit their spread and increase the economic benefits of viticulture. In 2014–2019, we carried out a large-scale phytosanitary monitoring of Russian commercial vineyards in the Krasnodar region, Stavropol region and Republic of Crimea. A total of 1857 samples were collected and tested for the presence of Grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus (GRSPaV), Grapevine virus A (GVA), Grapevine leafroll-associated virus-1 (GLRaV-1), Grapevine leafroll-associated virus-2 (GLRaV-2), Grapevine leafroll-associated virus-3 (GLRaV-3), Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV), and Grapevine fleck virus (GFkV) using RT-PCR. Out of all samples tested, 54.5% were positive for at least one of the viruses (GRSPaV, GVA, GLRaV-1, GLRaV-2, GLRaV-3, GFLV, GFkV) in the Stavropol region, 49.8% in the Krasnodar region and 49.5% in the Republic of Crimea. Some plants were found to be infected with several viruses simultaneously. In the Republic of Crimea, for instance, a number of plants were infected with five viruses. In the Krasnodar region and the Republic of Crimea, 4.7% and 3.3% of the samples were predominantly infected with both GFkV and GRSPaV, whereas in the Stavropol region, 6% of the selected samples had both GLRaV-1 and GVA infections. We carried out a phylogenetic analysis of the coat protein genes of the detected viruses and identified the presence of GVA of groups I and IV, GRSPaV of groups BS and SG1, GLRaV-1 of group III, GLRaV-2 of groups PN and H4, GLRaV-3 of groups I and III. The results obtained make it possible to assess the viral load and the distribution of the main grapevine viruses on plantations in the viticultural zones of Russia, emphasizing the urgent need to develop and implement long-term strategies for the control of viral diseases of grapes.

Abstract
Grapevine Roditis leaf discoloration-associated virus (GRLDaV) is an emerging grapevine pathogen included in the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) alert list due to its ability to damage grapevine crops and cause production losses. This work aimed to develop a specific and reliable diagnostic tool that would contribute to preventing the spread of this pathogen. Therefore, a TaqMan real-time quantitative PCR was developed. The method was validated according to EPPO guidelines showing a high degree of analytical sensitivity, analytical specificity, selectivity, and repeatability and reproducibility. The sensitivity of this method is much higher than the sensitivity reached by previously reported methods even when tested in crude extracts, which could allow rapid testing by avoiding nucleic acid extraction steps. The method was also able to detect GRLDaV isolates from all the geographic origins reported so far, despite their high degree of genetic diversity. In addition, this new technique has been successfully applied for the quantitative detection of GRLDaV in plant material and two mealybug species, Planococcus citri and Pseudococcus viburni. In conclusion, the methodology developed herein represents a significant contribution to the diagnosis and control of this emerging pathogen in grapevine.

Abstract
Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3) is an economically significant virus of grapevines, with secondary spread mediated by several species of mealybug and soft scale insects. To better understand virus-vector interactions, sensitive virus detection in these insects is a key tool. In this research, two new hydrolysis-probe-based real-time assays for GLRaV-3 detection were developed and compared to three existing assays. Of the five assays compared, the one-step RT-qPCR probe-based assay was the most sensitive and reliable, with as few as 10 virus RNA copies detected. This is the first description of a real-time molecular assay for virus detection in mealybugs with such sensitivity.

Abstract
Grapevine Pinot gris virus (GPGV) is a widely distributed grapevine pathogen that has been associated to the grapevine leaf mottling and deformation disease. With the aim of better understanding the disease epidemiology and providing efficient control strategies a specific and quantitative duplex TaqMan real-time RT-PCR assay has been developed. This method has allowed reliable quantitation of the GPGV titer ranging from 30 up to 3 x 108 transcript copies, with a detection limit of 70 viral copies in plant material. The assay targets a grapevine internal control that reduces the occurrence of false negative results, thus increasing the diagnostic sensitivity of the technique. Viral isolates both associated and non-associated to symptoms from Greece, Slovakia and Spain have been successfully detected. The method has also been applied to the absolute quantitation of GPGV in its putative transmission vector Colomerus vitis. Moreover, the viral titer present in single mites has been determined. In addition, in the current study a new polymorphism in the GPGV genome responsible for a shorter movement protein has been found. A phylogenetic study based on this genomic region has shown a high variability among Spanish isolates and points to a different evolutionary origin of this new polymorphism. The methodology here developed opens new possibilities for basic and epidemiological studies as well as for the establishment of efficient control strategies.

Abstract
Little cherry virus 1 (LChV1) is a sweet cherry pathogen which has lately been reported in other Prunus spp. LChV1 variability makes reliable detection a challenging undertaking. The objective of this work was to develop a rapid, sensitive, and reliable one-tube, real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the detection and quantification of LChV1. Primers and a TaqMan probe were designed, using conserved regions of the capsid protein gene. Detection range was evaluated using several divergent viral isolates. The amplification efficiency of the method was estimated at 96.7%, whereas the detection limit was about 100 RNA copies. The protocol was applied in the study of virus fluctuation within leaves and phloem tissue throughout the year and the best periods to test and plant tissues to sample were determined. Comparative analysis of this method with a previously published nested RT-PCR revealed the higher analytical and diagnostic sensitivity of the new test, making it a reliable tool that can be used in routine testing and certification programs.

Abstract
In this study of three grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3) genetic variants in two grapevine rootstock hosts, GLRaV-3 detection was shown to be affected by the virus distribution, titre, and the genetic variant. Group VI and NZ2 GLRaV-3 variants had reduced detectability compared with the group I variant. Differences in the genomic and subgenomic RNA (sgRNA) expression levels, and differences in the level of expression between the genetic variants were also observed. The observed differences in virus titre and sgRNA expression levels suggest differences in plant-virus interactions by the various GLRaV-3 genetic variants.

Abstract
To characterize the prevalence of viruses associated with grapevine leafroll disease in China, 249 grapevine (Vitis spp.) samples (86 popular cultivars and a rootstock) from 19 provinces and regions were collected and tested for Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 1 (GLRaV-1), GLRaV-2, GLRaV-3, GLRaV-4, and GLRaV-4 strain 5 by SYBR Green real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and RT-PCR and sequencing. GLRaV-3 was found in 100% of the samples while GLRaV-1, GLRaV-2, and GLRaV-4 were detected in 24.9% (62/249), 15.3% (38/249), and 0.80% (2/249) of the samples, respectively. Single infections with GLRaV-3 were found in 66.3% (165/249) of the samples, and the remaining samples were mixed infections of GLRaV-3 with one or two other GLRaVs, those with GLRaV-1 being the most common (18.5%, 46/249). The genetic variability of Chinese GLRaV-3 isolates was characterized based on the coat protein (CP) gene. In total, 153 full-length CP gene sequences (94 sequences newly generated) of Chinese GLRaV-3 isolates from different grapevine-growing regions showed 89.3 to 100.0% and 92.7 to 100.0% identity at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively. The average nucleotide diversity for the population of Chinese GLRaV-3 isolates was estimated at 0.037 (standard error = 0.0032). GLRaV-3 isolates from China segregated into five distinct phylogenetic groups and two novel recombination events were found in the viral population. This is the first and most extensive report of the prevalent species of GLRaV in China, which also provides an assessment of genetic variability of GLRaV-3 Chinese isolates.

Abstract
Grapevine leafroll disease is caused by grapevine leafroll-associated viruses (GLRaVs). These viruses are common in vineyards worldwide and often associated with vitiviruses that are involved in the rugose wood complex of grapevine. Ten mealybug species are known as vectors of one or several of these grapevine viruses, including the apple mealybug Phenacoccus aceris which is widespread in Holarctic regions and able to transmit Grapevine leafroll-associated virus-1 and -3 (GLRaV-1 and -3). Our aim was to characterize the transmission features of leafroll viruses by Phenacoccus aceris in order to better understand the contribution of this mealybug to leafroll epidemics. Results showed that Phenacoccus aceris is able to transmit GLRaV-1, -3, -4, -5, -6, and -9 to grapevine but not GLRaV-7. This is the first report of GLRaV-6 transmission by a mealybug. Also, for the first time it was shown that Phenacoccus aceris could vector vitiviruses Grapevine virus A (GVA) and Grapevine virus B (GVB). First instar nymphs were the most efficient stage in transmitting GLRaV-1, -3, and GVA. This research sheds light on the transmission biology of grapevine viruses by Phenacoccus aceris and represents a step forward to leafroll disease management.

Abstract
Papaya meleira virus (PMeV) is the causal agent of papaya sticky disease. This study describes two methods for molecular diagnosis of PMeV using conventional and real-time PCR. These methods were shown to be more efficient than current methods of viral detection using extraction of PMeV dsRNA and observation of symptoms in the field. The methods described here were used to evaluate the effect of inoculation of papaya plants with purified PMeV dsRNA on the progress of PMeV infection. A single inoculation with PMeV dsRNA was observed to delay the progress of the virus infection by several weeks. The possibility of vertical transmission of PMeV was also investigated. No evidence was found for PMeV transmission through seeds collected from diseased fruit. The implications of these results for the epidemiology of PMeV and the management of papaya sticky disease are discussed.

Abstract
Complete nucleotide sequences of the type isolate of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 4 (GLRaV-4) and of an isolate of GLRaV-6 from cv 'Estellat' (GLRaV-6Est) were generated and compared mutually and with related viruses. The genome organization of both viruses resembled that of members of Subgroup I in the genus Ampelovirus (fam. Closteroviridae). The availability of these sequences, along with previously existing data on related GLRaVs, allowed critical review of the taxonomy and nomenclature of these viruses. In phylogenetic analyses, GLRaV-4 and -6Est consistently grouped with GLRaV-5, -9, and -Pr forming a poorly resolved sub-cluster ("GLRaV-4 group") within the genus Ampelovirus. In-depth study showed that genetic distances between these viruses do not exceed the intra-species diversity observed in other closteroviruses. In Western blots, partially purified preparations of GLRaVs -4, -5, -6 and -9 reacted only with homologous monoclonal antibodies, but were all recognized by polyclonal antisera to GLRaV-5 and GLRaV-9. Serological relatedness among these viruses was further confirmed in DAS-ELISA. In immuno-electron microscopy, GLRaV-6 particles appeared uniformly decorated with homologous monoclonal antibodies, whereas GLRaV-2, used as a control, showed "bipolar" morphology of the virion. Results of this study challenge taxonomy and nomenclature of several GLRaVs suggesting that they are divergent isolates of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 4 and not, as has been assumed, distinct species (definitive and/or putative) in the genus Ampelovirus.

Abstract
A single-colour microarray hybridization system was designed and evaluated for the detection of viruses infecting grapevine. Total RNA (≥0.5μg) from infected plants was converted to cDNA and labelled with Cy3 using two different strategies. While amine-modified and labelled cDNA was adequate for the detection of nepoviruses, the 3DNA technique, a post-hybridization detection method that uses intensely fluorescent dendrimer reagents, was required for the detection of closteroviruses in infected plants. Threshold detection levels were based on the ratio between viral specific and 18S rRNA positive control signal intensities. Oligonucleotides between 27 and 75 nucleotides in length were evaluated and compared. Viruses detected include eight nepoviruses, two vitiviruses, and one each of closterovirus, foveavirus, ampelovirus, maculavirus and sadwavirus. Results of this work demonstrate the potential of microarray technique to detect viral pathogens without sequence bias amplification of template RNA.

Abstract
A country-wide screen for viral pathogens in Israeli apiaries revealed significant incidence of deformed wing virus (DWV) and Varroa destructor-1 virus (VDV-1). To understand these viruses' possible involvement in deformed wing syndrome of honey bees, we studied their replication in symptomatically and asymptomatically infected bees qualitatively and quantitatively, using RT-PCR, quantitative real-time RT-PCR, and immunodetection of the major viral capsid protein VP1. We found, for the first time, replication of VDV-1 and/or a VDV-1-DWV recombinant virus in the heads of recently emerged symptomatic bees. These viruses replicated to high copy numbers, yielding the major viral capsid VP1 processed for subsequent assembly of viral particles. Our results clearly distinguished between symptomatic and asymptomatic bees infected with VDV-1 and VDV-1-DWV and suggest the hypothesis that VDV-1, in addition to DWV, may be involved in inducing the deformed wing pathology. Thus VDV-1-DWV recombination may yield virulent strains able to cause overt infections in Varroa-infested bee colonies.

Abstract
Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) is a newly emerging pathogen affecting wheat production in China. A real-time PCR method using the TaqMan probe is described for quantitative detection of WDV in wheat tissues and in leafhopper (Psammotettix alienus Dahlb.). Primers and probes for specific detection of WDV were designed within the conserved region of the coat protein (CP) gene sequence. A sensitivity assay showed the detection limit of the assay was 30 copies, and the standard curve was linear over range 30-3 × 10(6) copies, with good reproducibility. Simultaneously, this real-time PCR assay could be used to detect WDV CP genes in viruliferous leafhoppers. As determined by an end-point dilution comparison, real-time PCR was close to 10(4)-fold more sensitive than the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for WDV detection. Field samples of wheat and leafhopper collected from different regions of China were detected by both real-time PCR and gel-based PCR. The results showed more positive samples could be identified by real-time PCR than by gel-based PCR. This quantitative detection assay provides a valuable tool for diagnosis and molecular studies of WDV biology.

Abstract
Genetic variability of field populations of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 2 (GLRaV-2) in Pacific Northwest (PNW) vineyards was characterized by sequencing the entire coat protein (CP) and a portion of the heat-shock protein-70 homolog (HSP70h) genes. Phylogenetic analysis of CP and HSP70h nucleotide sequences obtained in this study and corresponding sequences from GenBank revealed segregation of GLRaV-2 isolates into six lineages with virus isolates from PNW distributed in 'PN', 'H4', and 'RG' lineages. An estimation of the ratio of nonsynonymous substitutions per nonsynonymous site to synonymous substitutions per synonymous site indicated that different selection pressures may be acting on the two genomic regions encoding proteins with distinct functions. Multiple alignments of CP amino acid sequences showed lineage-specific differences. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results indicated that GLRaV-2-specific antibodies from a commercial source are unable to reliably detect GLRaV-2 isolates in the RG lineage, thereby limiting antibody-based diagnosis of all GLRaV-2 isolates currently found in PNW vineyards. A protocol based on reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was developed for differentiating GLRaV-2 isolates belonging to the three lineages present in the region. The taxonomic status of GLRaV-2 is discussed in light of the current knowledge of global genetic diversity of the virus.

Abstract
Two one-step real-time RT-PCR assays, based on SYBR Green (SG) chemistry, were developed or adapted respectively, for the detection, differentiation, and quantitation of two important honeybee viruses: Sacbrood virus (SBV) and Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV). Both reactions were optimized to yield the highest sensitivity and specificity. The genome equivalent copies (GEC) detection limit per reaction was 389.3 for the ABPV RT-PCR. The GEC detection limit per reaction was 298.9 for the SBV RT-PCR. Viral detection and identification were confirmed by melting curve analysis and sequencing of the PCR products. Both techniques were used to evaluate Spanish field samples and establish the distribution of these viruses. Acute bee paralysis virus was not detected, and Sacbrood virus was present at low frequencies. The one-step real-time SG RT-PCR methods are fast, accurate, and useful for detecting and quantifying these honeybee viruses, which cause inapparent infections and contribute to the increasing depopulation of honeybee colonies.

Abstract
We report here the identification and characterization of VIGG, a novel virus-induced grapevine protein. Analysis of VIGG expression in grapevine demonstrated that VIGG was constitutively expressed in leaves and stems in virus-infected grapevine, and that VIGG expression was induced by grapevine virus A (GVA) infection, but not by infection with other viruses. The virus-induced expression profile of VIGG was supported by the finding that virus-free meristem cultures prepared from virus-infected grapevines did not express VIGG. An experiment using GFP-VIGG fusion protein demonstrated that VIGG might be localized in or around the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Treatment of grapevine cells with ER stress inducers resulted in the induction of VIGG expression. Berries from VIGG-expressing grapevines had higher organic acid and phenolic contents than those from control grapevines that did not express VIGG. Interestingly, fruit composition of a grapevine that was simultaneously infected by GVA and grapevine virus B (GVB), which did not express VIGG, was significantly different from that of GVA-infected grapevines expressing VIGG, suggesting that the effector of fruit composition alteration might be VIGG expression, but not GVA infection. Taken together, VIGG expression might suppress the decrease in organic acid content and increase phenol content in berries. Further investigation of the biological function of VIGG is expected to provide new information on the fruit quality of grapevines.

Abstract
Vineyards in the Finger Lakes region in New York were surveyed for the three major viruses associated with leafroll disease, i.e., Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 1 (GLRaV-1), Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 2 (GLRaV-2), and Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3). Target viruses were detected in nearly two-thirds (68%, 65 of 95) of the vineyard blocks surveyed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Single infections by GLRaV-1, GLRaV-2, and GLRaV-3 occurred in 10% (113 of 1,124), 3% (36 of 1,124), and 15% (173 of 1,124) of the samples tested, respectively, whereas mixed infections affected 3.6% (40 of 1,124) of them, essentially with GLRaV-1 and GLRaV-3 (2.5%, 28 of 1,124). Presence of the target viruses was confirmed in selected samples by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and sequencing. Comparative analysis indicated moderate to high nucleotide sequence identities in the second diverged copy of the GLRaV-1 coat protein gene (81.0 to 86.7%), GLRaV-2 coat protein gene (87.6 to 99.2%), and GLRaV-3 heat shock protein 70 homologue gene (91.5 to 98.3%) of New York isolates with corresponding virus reference strains. The prevalence of the three major leafroll disease-associated viruses in Finger Lakes vineyards results likely from poor sanitary status of planting materials, stressing the need to reinstate a certification program in New York.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of Pineapple mealybug wilt associated virus-3 (PMWaV-3) (Closteroviridae: Ampelovirus), spanning seven open reading frames (ORFs) and the untranslatable region of the 3' end was determined. Based on the amino acid identities with orthologous ORFs of PMWaV-1 (54%-73%) and PMWaV-2 (13%-35%), we propose PMWaV-3 is a new species in the PMWaV complex. PMWaV-3 lacks an intergenic region between ORF1b and ORF2, encodes a relatively small, 28.8 kDa, coat protein, and lacks a coat protein duplicate. Phylogenetic analyses were used to analyze seven different domains and ORFs from members of the family Closteroviridae. Two distinct clades within the recognized genus Ampelovirus were observed; one that includes PMWaV-3 and PMWaV-1 and several GLRaVs and another that includes PMWaV-2 and GLRaV-3, the type member of the genus Ampelovirus.

Abstract
A nested RT-PCR was developed, that allows the generic detection of a subgroup of genetically related viruses with a distinct evolutionary history within the genus Ampelovirus. Members of this lineage are Grapevine leafroll associated virus-4, -5, -6, -9 and two isolates (GLRaV-De and GLRaV-Pr) that have been recently characterized and represent new species. The method involves a one step RT-PCR for the generic detection of Closteroviridae species using degenerate primers that target the HSP70h gene followed by a nested PCR, which detects all virus-members of the lineage and differentiates them from the other grapevine closteroviruses. The 490 bp nested PCR amplicons, corresponding to a phylogenetically informative region, can be sequenced directly to obtain initial genetic information for their partial characterization and rapid classification. Additional primers were designed and successfully used for the specific detection of GLRaV-4, -5, -6, -Pr and -De on respective single or multiplex nested PCR assays. The application of a ramped annealing thermal profile in the nested PCR allowed all amplifications to run in parallel. The developed detection scheme is proposed as a tool that can be used for the enrichment of sequence information of known and uncharacterized ampeloviruses, classified within this lineage, enabling their selective amplification in mixed Closteroviridae virus infections.

Abstract
Yellow fever vaccine is a live, attenuated viral preparation from the 17D virus strain. Since 1996, 34 cases of yellow fever vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease (YEL-AVD) have been described. We report a new case of YEL-AVD. Given the potential risks associated with the vaccine, physicians should consider vaccination only for patients truly at risk for exposure to yellow fever, especially for primovaccination.
