Emaravirus Emaravirus Emaravirus is a genus of plant viruses. The genus has more than six species, including: "European mountain ash ringspot-associated virus" (type species), "Fig mosaic virus", "Pigeonpea sterility mosaic virus", "Raspberry leaf blotch virus", "Rose rosette virus" and Maize red stripe virus. "European mountain ash ringspot-associated virus" is associated with a leaf mottling and ringspot disease of European mountain ash "Sorbus aucuparia". It can be transmitted by grafting and possibly mites. The virion particle is between 80-100 nm and consists of an enveloped ribonucleocapsid that exhibits helical symmetry. The genomes are segmented, consisting of four strands of negative-sense single-stranded RNA.
Rowan by some commentators. In the Canadian provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia, this species is commonly referred to as a "dogberry" tree. In German, "Sorbus aucuparia" is known as the "Vogelbeerbaum" ("bird-berry tree") or as "Eberesche". The latter is a compound of the name of the ash tree ("Esche") with what is contemporarily the name of the boar ("Eber"), but in fact the continuation of a Gaulish name, "eburo-" (also the name for a dark reddish-brown colour, cognate with Greek "orphnos", Old Norse "iarpr" "brown"); like "sorbus", "eburo-" seems to have referred to the colour of the berries;
