Interspecies Recombination Has Driven the Macroevolution of Cassava Mosaic Begomoviruses.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic analysis of the contribution of genetic exchange to cassava mosaic virus species-level diversity is presented, showing that recombination has significantly impacted the CMB phylogeny and has driven speciation in the CMD species complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

First natural crossover recombination between two distinct species of the family Closteroviridae leads to the emergence of a new disease

TL;DR: Results of the analysis are the proof of the evidence that LCV-SP is the first recombinant of the family Closteroviridae by crossover recombination of intact ORFs, being the LCV RNA 1 and BnYDV RNA1 the origin of the new LCV strain.
Journal ArticleDOI

High genetic homogeneity points to a single introduction event responsible for invasion of Cotton leaf curl Multan virus and its associated betasatellite into China

TL;DR: The high genetic homogeneity of C LCuMuV and CLCuMuB in China suggests the establishment of them from a single founder event.
Journal ArticleDOI

Capsicum-infecting begomoviruses as global pathogens: host–virus interplay, pathogenesis, and management

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview on various aspects of CIBs such as their emergence, epidemiology, mechanism of pathogenesis, and the management protocols being employed for combating them is provided in this article .

Possible emergence of new geminiviruses by frequent recombination.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rates of evolutionary change in viruses: patterns and determinants.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA-based antiviral immunity

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging Virus Diseases Transmitted by Whiteflies

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

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.
