''.
Particle lengths were measured at 800-850 nm. Partial sequencing has taken place but full sequencing was not complete as of 2008.
Criniviruses are considered a threat to crops, though less so than viruses the other whitefly transmitted virus genus ''

Vector
The vector is the banded-wing whitefly, ''
Trialeurodes abutiloneus''.
