Marcelo Candido, +6 more
- 20 Nov 2019 - 
TL;DR: For the first time the complete genome of Ranavirus FV3 isolated from South America is reported, contributing to a greater knowledge related to evolutionary events of potentially lethal infectious agent for cold-blooded animals.

Evolution and host adaptability of plant RNA viruses: Research insights on compositional biases

Zhen He, +3 more
- 01 May 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , a mini-review of the evolution of plant RNA viruses in view of compositional biases and explore how they adapt to the host is presented, and it appears that adenine rich (A-rich) coding sequences, low CpG and UpA dinucleotide frequencies and lower codon usage patterns were found in the vast majority of plant IR viruses.

A New Type of Satellite Associated with Cassava Mosaic Begomoviruses.

Catherine Doyle Aimone, +5 more
- 13 Oct 2021 - 
TL;DR: This paper showed that SEGS-2 is a begomovirus satellite that enhances cassava mosaic disease through the action of an encoded protein that may also be encoded by the cassava genome.

Possible emergence of new geminiviruses by frequent recombination.

Malla Padidam, +2 more
- 20 Dec 1999 - 
TL;DR: Geminiviruses are a group of plant viruses characterized by a genome of circular single-stranded DNA encapsidated in twinned quasi-isometric particles and recombination is very frequent and occurs between species and within and across genera.

Rates of evolutionary change in viruses: patterns and determinants.

Siobain Duffy, +3 more
- 04 Mar 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the high rate of nucleotide substitution in RNA viruses is matched by some DNA viruses, suggesting that evolutionary rates in viruses are explained by diverse aspects of viral biology, such as genomic architecture and replication speed, and not simply by polymerase fidelity.

RNA-based antiviral immunity

Shou-Wei Ding
- 01 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: Recent studies on the features of viral siRNAs and other virus-derived small RNAs from virus-infected fungi, plants, insects, nematodes and vertebrates are reviewed and the innate and adaptive properties of RNA-based antiviral immunity are discussed.

Emerging Virus Diseases Transmitted by Whiteflies

Jesús Navas-Castillo, +2 more
- 12 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: Factors driving the emergence and establishment of whitefly-transmitted diseases include genetic changes in the virus through mutation and recombination, changes inThe vector populations coupled with polyphagy of the main vector, Bemisia tabaci, and long distance traffic of plant material or vector insects due to trade of vegetables and ornamental plants.

Cross-Species Virus Transmission and the Emergence of New Epidemic Diseases

Colin R. Parrish, +8 more
- 01 Sep 2008 - 
TL;DR: What is known about host switching leading to viral emergence from known examples is reviewed, considering the evolutionary mechanisms, virus-host interactions, host range barriers to infection, and processes that allow efficient host-to-host transmission in the new host population.
