Nerine latent virus (NeLV) is a plant pathogenic virus. It infects Nerine, Narcissus, Hippeastrum and Ismene plants.
Taxonomy
NeLV was first described in 1972[1] [2] In 2004 it was placed in the new family, Flexiviridae in 20004, within the Carlavirus genus.[2][3]
When that family was divided up in 2009, Carlavirus and NeLV were placed in the Betaflexiviridae.
Narcissus symptomless virus
Narcissus symptomless virus was described as a separate virus taxon in 2006.[4] Subsequently, in 2016 it became apparent that the nucleotide sequence identities between Narcissus symptomless virus and the partial genome sequences of Nerine latent virus are 94-97% for coat protein and replicase, well above the threshold 72% set for speciation of flexiviruses.[2][5]
Consequently these two viruses can be considered to be the same taxon, and since NeLV has priority, Narcissus symptomless virus should be reduced to a synonym.
