| Research Abstract |
We detected four blueberry viruses in Japanese blueberry trees and analyzed their properties. Two out of the four viruses were identified with Blueberry red ringspot virus (BRRV) and blueberry latent virus (BBLV), which had been reported in other countries. The rest of the two viruses were new species, which were named Blueberry latent spherical virus (BLSV) and blueberry virus A (BVA). Characterization of BLSV revealed that it should be considered a new member of subgroup C in the genus Nepovirus. In a phylogenetic analysis of BVA genome, BVA was a new closterovirus which failed to group with any genus of the family Closteroviridae.
