A new cytorhabdovirus was identified in zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) in Greece with the aid of high-throughput sequencing technology. The negative-sense, single-stranded genomic RNA of the new virus was determined and includes seven open reading frames in the order 3'-N-P-P3-P4-M-G-L-5' in the antigenomic orientation. Typical rhabdovirus-like particles were observed in infected leaf material. Comparative sequence analysis and phylogenetic reconstructions suggested that the described virus is a new member of the genus Cytorhabdovirus, and it was tentatively named cucurbit cytorhabdovirus 1 (CuCV1). To our knowledge CuCV1 is the first cytorhabdovirus infecting cucurbits in nature. Our surveys indicated that it occurs in a percentage of 36.7 % in zucchini crops in Greece.
借助高通量测序技术，在希腊的西葫芦（Cucurbita pepo）中鉴定出一种新型细胞弹状病毒。新型病毒的负义单链基因组 RNA 被确定，并且在抗原基因组方向上包括七个开放阅读框 3'-N-P-P3-P4-M-G-L-5'。在受感染的叶片材料中观察到典型的杆状病毒样颗粒。比较序列分析和系统发育重建表明，所描述的病毒是细胞弹状病毒属的一个新成员，它被暂时命名为葫芦科细胞弹状病毒 1（CuCV1）。据我们所知，CuCV1 是自然界中感染葫芦科植物的第一个细胞弹状病毒。我们的调查表明，它在希腊的西葫芦作物中出现的比例为 36.7%。
