One large contig with high sequence similarity to Asian prunus virus 2 was identified by high-throughput sequencing from a camellia (Camellia japonica) tree with ringspot symptoms. The complete genome of this new virus was determined to be 8829 nucleotides long, excluding the 3' poly(A) tail. Its genome organization resembles that of known foveaviruses but contains an additional open reading frame in the 3'-terminal region. Phylogenetic analysis also places this virus with members of the genus Foveavirus in the family Betaflexiviridae in the same subgroup. The virus, which is provisionally named "camellia ringspot-associated virus 4″, shares 50-56% nucleotide sequence identity with other foveaviruses and should represent a new species in the genus.

山茶花环斑相关病毒 4，一种来自山茶花的新中央凹病毒。

通过高通量测序从具有环斑症状的山茶花（Camellia japonica）树中鉴定出一个与亚洲李病毒 2 具有高度序列相似性的大型重叠群。这种新病毒的完整基因组被确定为 8829 个核苷酸长，不包括 3' 聚 (A) 尾。其基因组结构类似于已知的中央凹病毒，但在 3' 末端区域包含一个额外的开放阅读框。系统发育分析还将该病毒与 Betaflexiviridae 科的 Foveavirus 属的成员置于同一亚组中。该病毒暂时命名为“山茶花环斑相关病毒4号”，与其他黄斑病毒有50-56%的核苷酸序列同一性，应该代表该属的一个新种。
