| reovirus genomes from plant-feeding insects represent a newly discovered lineage within the family reoviridae. | a complex set of double-stranded rnas (dsrnas) was isolated from threecornered alfalfa hopper (spissistilus festinus), a plant-feeding hemipteran pest. a subset of these dsrnas constitute the genome of a new reovirus, provisionally designated spissistilus festinus reovirus (spfrv). spfrv was present in threecornered alfalfa hopper populations in the san joaquin valley of california, with incidence ranging from 10% to 60% in 24 of 25 sample sets analyzed. the 10 dsrna segments of spfrv were compl ... | 2011 | 22142476 |
