Viruses in the family Closteroviridae have a mono-, bi- or tripartite positive-sense RNA genome of 13-19 kb, and non-enveloped, filamentous particles 650-2200 nm long and 12 nm in diameter. They infect plants, mainly dicots, many of which are fruit crops. This is a summary of the ICTV Report on the family Closteroviridae , which is available at ictv.global/report/closteroviridae.
