Abutilon yellows virus (AbYV (sometimes AYB [1] ) is a virus of the genus Crinivirus . [2]
Particle lengths were measured at 800-850 nm. [3] Partial sequencing has taken place but full sequencing was not complete as of 2008. [4]
Criniviruses are considered a threat to crops, though less so than viruses the other whitefly transmitted virus genus Begomovirus , which are predominant in both number and effect. [5]
The vector is the banded-wing whitefly, Trialeurodes abutiloneus . [6]
