Allexivirus is a genus of viruses in the order Tymovirales, in the family Alphaflexiviridae. Shallot, onion, and garlic serve as natural hosts. There are 15 species in this genus, seven of which are assigned to a subgenus. Diseases associated with this genus include: mosaic and ringspot symptoms.[1][2]
The following species are assigned to the genus, listed by scientific name and followed by the exemplar virus of the species:[2][3]
