The Plant Viruses and Viroids database contains information on plant viruses and viroids present in Dutch plant virus and viroid collections. Currently the database focuses on regulated plant viruses belonging to the genera Nepovirus, Potexvirus, Potyvirus, and Tospovirus and viroids belonging to the genus Pospiviroid. In the future information on other plant viruses and viroids will be included.
What is in the database?
- General information at the genus and species level, based on the ICTV report and Descriptions of Plant Viruses
- Specific information on virus isolates present in physical collections available for users
- General protocols used for detection and identification of plant viruses and viroids (Tab 'Methodology')
- Links to EPPO datasheets and diagnostic protocols
- Links to NCBI GenBank, also for quarantine viruses not present in the collection yet
How to use the database?
There are two search strategies:
- Tab 'Organisms included' follows taxonomy and brings you to specific isolates by choosing the particular genus and species
- Tab 'General search' allows you to search for virus species or isolates (e.g. by name or acronym) directly
More details on the interpretation of provided information can be found under the particular tabs
