Abstract

Lettuce big vein disease is a disease complex involving at least two RNA viruses, both transmitted by the soilborne fungus Olpidium virulentus. Here, we present the genomic sequence of a novel unrelated third negative-stranded RNA virus, belonging to the family Phenuiviridae, recovered from infected lettuce plants.
