The genome of a novel rhabdovirus was detected in yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil.). The newly identified virus, tentatively named "yerba mate virus A" (YmVA), has a genome of 14,961 nucleotides. Notably, eight open reading frames were identified in the antigenomic orientation of the negative-sense, single-stranded viral RNA, including two novel accessory genes, in the order 3'-N-P-3-4-M-G-L-8-5'. Sequence comparisons of the encoded proteins as well as phylogenetic analysis suggest that YmVA is a new member of the genus Cytorhabdovirus, family Rhabdoviridae. YmVA's unique genomic organization and phylogenetic relationships indicate that this virus likely represents a distinct evolutionary lineage among the cytorhabdoviruses.

具有独特基因组结构的新型细胞病毒的分子表征，在阿根廷感染yerba mate（Ilex paraguariensis）。

一种新型弹状病毒的基因组是在yerba mate（Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil。）中检测到的。新近鉴定出的病毒，暂时命名为“ yerba mate virus A”（YmVA），具有14961个核苷酸的基因组。值得注意的是，以3'-NP-3-4-MGL-8-5'的顺序，在负义单链病毒RNA的反基因组方向上鉴定出八个开放阅读框，包括两个新的辅助基因。编码蛋白质的序列比较以及系统发育分析表明，YmVA是Cytorhabdovirus属Rhabdoviridae家族的新成员。YmVA独特的基因组组织和系统发育关系表明，该病毒可能代表了细胞病毒中的独特进化谱系。
