The complete genomic sequence (11278 nt) of Citrus psorosis virus (CPsV), isolate P-121 from Spain, was determined and compared with those from isolate CPV-4 and from other ophioviruses. The three RNAs of P-121 had similar size and identical organization as those of CPV-4. The 24K and the RdRp proteins were potentially encoded in the viral complementary (vc) strand of RNA 1, the 54K protein potentially encoded in vcRNA 2 and the coat protein encoded in vcRNA 3. These four proteins from P-121 and CPV-4 had 87, 92, 93 and 94% amino acid identity, respectively, but only 22, 38, 25 and 33% identity with their homologous proteins from Mirafiori lettuce big vein virus (MLBVV), the only other ophiovirus completely sequenced. Biological and genetic differences between CPsV and MLBVV (and the other ophioviruses), would support their future allocation in different genera within a tentative family Ophioviridae.
