| capulavirus and grablovirus: two new genera in the family geminiviridae. | geminiviruses are plant-infecting single-stranded dna viruses that occur in most parts of the world. currently, there are seven genera within the family geminiviridae (becurtovirus, begomovirus, curtovirus, eragrovirus, mastrevirus, topocuvirus and turncurtovirus). the rate of discovery of new geminiviruses has increased significantly over the last decade as a result of new molecular tools and approaches (rolling-circle amplification and deep sequencing) that allow for high-throughput workflows. ... | 2017 | 28213872 |
| alfalfa leaf curl virus: an aphid-transmitted geminivirus. | the family geminiviridae comprises seven genera differentiated by genome organization, sequence similarity, and insect vector. capulavirus, an eighth genus, has been proposed to accommodate two newly discovered highly divergent geminiviruses that presently have no known vector. alfalfa leaf curl virus, identified here as a third capulavirus, is shown to be transmitted by aphis craccivora. this is the first report of an aphid-transmitted geminivirus. | 2015 | 26109720 |
