Abstract

An RNA virus tentatively named Lagenaria siceraria endornavirus-Hubei (LsEV-HuB) was isolated from Lagenaria siceraria var. hispida in Hubei, China. The LsEV-HuB genome consists of 15,098 bp and contains a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding a large protein with several conserved domains, including one helicase domain, one glycosyltransferase domain, two capsular polysaccharide synthesis protein (CPS) domains, and one RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domain. LsEV-HuB has nucleotide and amino acid sequence identities of 72.96% and 77.95%, respectively, to Lagenaria siceraria endornavirus-California (LsEV-CA), the closest relative of LsEV-HuB.
