Neighbor joining trees inferred using an alignment of nucleocapsid (N protein) (A) and RdRp (L protein) (B) from 20 available cytorhabdovirus genome sequences. The genomes of the nucleorhabdoviruses sonchus yellow net virus (SYNV; L32603), datura yellow vein virus (DYVV; KM823531) and black currant-associated rhabdovirus (BCaRV; MF543022) were used as outgroup. The trees were constructed using the JTT model with 1000 bootstrap replicates. BaCV, PCRV, and BTCRV are within a green box. (B) also indicates known insect vector types. The cytorhabdoviruses used to construct the tree, and their accession numbers, are: alfalfa dwarf virus (ADV; KP205452), barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV; KM213865), bean-associated cytorhabdovirus (BaCV; MK202584) Bemisia tabaci virus-like sequences (BTCRV; KJ994260; KJ994261; KJ994263; KJ994264), cabbage cytorhabdovirus-1 (CCyV-1; KY810772), colocasia bobone-disease associated virus (CBDaV; KT381973), lettuce necrotic yellow virus (LNYV; AJ867584), lettuce yellow mottle virus (LYMoV; EF687738), maize-associated cytorhabdovirus (MaCyV; KY965147), maize yellow striate virus (MYSV; KY884672), northern cereal mosaic virus (NCMV; AB030277), papaya cytorhabdovirus (PCRV; MH282832), persimmon virus A (PeVA; AB735628), rice stripe mosaic virus (RSMV; KX525586), strawberry crinkle virus (SCV; MH129615), tomato yellow mottle-associated virus (TYMaV; KY075646), wuhan insect virus 4 (WhIV-4; KM817650), wuhan insect virus 5 (WhIV-5; KM817651), wuhan insect virus 6 (WhIV-6; KM817652), yerba mate chlorosis-associated virus (YmCaV; KY366322).
