Phylogenetic analysis reveals six distinct evolutionary clades among nodaviruses from Culex annulirostris mosquitoes, suggesting the need for additional genera within the Nodaviridae family.
We describe a virus isolated from Culex annulirostris mosquitoes in Australia. Phylogenetic analysis of its RNA-dependent RNA polymerase sequence and that of other related viruses revealed 6 clades, two of which corresponded wholly or partly with existing genera in the family Nodaviridae. There was greater genetic diversity within the family than previously recognized prompting us to suggest that additional genera should be considered within the family.
