| a new ophiovirus is associated with blueberry mosaic disease. | blueberry mosaic disease (bmd) was first described more than 60 years ago and is caused by a yet unidentified graft transmissible agent. a combination of traditional methods and next generation sequencing disclosed the presence of a new ophiovirus in symptomatic plants. the virus was detected in all bmd samples collected from several production areas of north america and was thus named blueberry mosaic associated virus. phylogenetic analysis, supported by high bootstrap values, places the virus ... | 2014 | 24874194 |
| development of reliable detection assays for blueberry mosaic- and blackberry vein banding- associated viruses based on their population structures. | blueberry mosaic associated virus (blmav), the presumed causal agent of the homonymous disease and blackberry vein banding associated virus (bvbav), a component of the blackberry yellow vein disease complex, are recently characterized rna viruses. there is a need for efficient and sensitive detection protocols for the two viruses, not only for screening during the nursery propagation process but also in commercial fields to better understand virus epidemiology and minimize disease spread. rna vi ... | 2017 | 28754569 |
| population structure of blueberry mosaic associated virus: evidence of reassortment in geographically distinct isolates. | the population structure of blueberry mosaic associated virus (blmav), a putative member of the family ophioviridae, was examined using 61 isolates collected from north america and slovenia. the studied isolates displayed low diversity in the movement and nucleocapsid proteins and low ratios of non-synonymous to synonymous nucleotide substitutions, indicative of strong purifying selection. phylogenetic analyses revealed grouping primarily based on geography with some isolates deviating from this ... | 2015 | 25733053 |
