Apium virus Y (ApVY) is a plant pathogenic virus[1] in the genus Potyvirus and the virus family Potyviridae.
Apium virus Y is a recently described member of the potyvirus family. It was first found in Australia in 2002[2] in poison hemlock (Conium maculatum: an immigrant weed in Australia). A survey of native and weed species in the family Apiaceae found ApVY to be widespread in Australia. In addition, this survey and others found two other potyviruses. One was a well-known potyvirus infecting the Apiaceae, Celery mosaic virus (CeMV). CeMV has been found in celery (Apium graveolens) crops worldwide, including Australia, New Zealand and the US.[3] The third potyvirus found in these surveys was another previously unknown potyvirus, Carrot virus Y (CarVY).
