A significant number of new members of the genus Vitivirus have been identified recently, mainly due to the advent of high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Grapevine virus I (GVI), which was identified in New Zealand in 2018, is one of these viruses. RNAseq HTS analysis of a Greek grapevine (cv. Daphnia), revealed the presence of a GVI-like isolate (D2-1/19). Sequence analysis confirmed the classification of D2-1/19 as GVI. However, both sequence and phylogenetic data exhibited high levels of variability between D2-1/19 and the previously characterized GVI isolates. This study provides the full-length sequence of a divergent GVI isolate, adding knowledge to the limited information available about this recently identified virus.

最近，主要由于高通量测序（HTS）的出现，已经鉴定出大量的葡萄病毒属新成员。这些病毒之一是2018年在新西兰发现的I型葡萄病毒（GVI）。RNAseq HTS分析希腊葡萄（葡萄树水蚤），发现存在类似GVI的分离株（D2-1 / 19）。序列分析证实了D2-1 / 19为GVI的分类。但是，序列和系统发育数据在D2-1 / 19与先前鉴定的GVI分离株之间均表现出高水平的变异性。这项研究提供了不同的GVI分离株的全长序列，为有关这种最近鉴定出的病毒的有限信息增加了知识。
