Capillovirus is a genus of viruses in the order Tymovirales, in the family Betaflexiviridae. Plants, pome fruits, citrus, and pear serve as natural hosts. There are nine species in this genus. Diseases associated with this genus include: abnormal graft union, possibly black necrotic leaf spot disease.[1][2]
The following species are assigned to the genus, listed by scientific name and followed by the exemplar virus of the species:[2]

Structure
Viruses in Capillovirus are non-enveloped, with flexuous and filamentous geometries. The diameter is around 12 nm, with a length of 640 nm. Genomes are linear, around 6.5-7.5kb in length. The genome codes for 3 proteins.[1]
