A novel virus was identified in aconite (Aconitum carmichaelii Debx.) in China by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and tentatively named "aconite virus A" (AcVA). The genomic RNA of AcVA consists of 8,844 nucleotides, excluding the poly(A) at the 3′ end. Analysis of the genomic organization of AcVA indicated that it possesses a genomic structure that is typical of carlaviruses and contains six putative open reading frames (ORFs). Pairwise analysis revealed that the replicase and coat protein of AcVA share the highest amino acid sequence identity (43.78% and 57.01%) with those of coleus vein necrosis virus (CVNV) and butterbur mosaic virus (ButMV), respectively. Based on the current classification criteria for carlaviruses, AcVA should be considered a distinct member of the genus Carlavirus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
