Abaca bunchy top virus (ABTV) is a pathogenic plant virus of the family Nanoviridae.ABTV has been isolated from both abacá (Musa textilis) and banana (Musa sp.). [1] ABTV has many similarities to banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) but is both genetically and serologically distinct in that it lacks two open reading frames found in BBTV's genome.
