AB - Abstract A new virus with sequence similarities to members of the genus Cavemovirus in the family Caulimoviridae was identified in an Epiphyllum hybrid. The complete genome of the virus, tentatively named “epiphyllum virus 4” (EpV-4), was determined to be 7,296 nucleotides long. Its circular genome organization is typical of cavemoviruses, containing four open reading frames. This virus and the two known cavemoviruses share 67-69% and 72-75% overall nucleotide sequence identity in the replicase gene. Phylogenetic analysis placed EpV-4 in a same cluster with the two recognized cavemoviruses. Thus, EpV-4 should be considered a representative of a third species of the genus Cavemovirus. The virus was transmitted by grafting.
