preliminary identification and coat protein gene phylogenetic relationships of begomoviruses associated with native flora and cultivated plants from the yucatan peninsula of mexico.	a number of native and cultivated eudicots in the yucatan peninsula of mexico (ypm) exhibit symptoms associated with virus infection. symptomatic leaves were collected and assessed for begomoviral detection using polymerase chain reaction (pcr), and universal primers that amplify a fragment of the coat protein gene (core cp). begomovirus were detected in nine native and seven cultivated species, representing seven eudicot families. dna extracts from the 16 hosts were used for pcr amplification a ...	2007	17682933
analysis of a new strain of euphorbia mosaic virus with distinct replication specificity unveils a lineage of begomoviruses with short rep sequences in the dna-b intergenic region.	euphorbia mosaic virus (eumv) is a member of the slcv clade, a lineage of new world begomoviruses that display distinctive features in their replication-associated protein (rep) and virion-strand replication origin. the first entirely characterized eumv isolate is native from yucatan peninsula, mexico; subsequently, eumv was detected in weeds and pepper plants from another region of mexico, and partial dna-a sequences revealed significant differences in their putative replication specificity det ...	2010	20958988
