Eukaryotic Circular Rep-Encoding Single-Stranded DNA (CRESS DNA) Viruses: Ubiquitous Viruses With Small Genomes and a Diverse Host Range

Lele Zhao, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: The explosion of sequence diversity and expansion of eukaryotic CRESS DNA taxonomic groups over the last decade is surveyed, similarities between the well-studied geminiviruses and circoviruses with newly identified groups known only through their genome sequences are highlighted, and the ecology and evolution of eUKaryoticCRESS DNA viruses are discussed.

Enrique Moriones, +2 more
- 21 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: ToLCNDV genetic variability has been analyzed, providing new insights into the taxonomy, host adaptation, and evolution of this virus.

Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus: a widespread bipartite begomovirus in the territory of monopartite begomoviruses.

Syed Shan-e-Ali Zaidi, +4 more
- 01 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: An understanding of the capacity of ToLCNDV to infect a variety of hosts and spread across a broad and ecologically variable geographical range could illuminate the potential economic threats associated with similar begomoviral invasions.

Complexity of begomovirus and betasatellite populations associated with chilli leaf curl disease in India.

R. Vinoth Kumar, +9 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of samples collected in the survey indicates that ChiLCD-infected plants are associated with a complex of begomoviruses (including one previously unreported species) with a diverse group of betasatellites found in crops and weeds, and demonstrates the crucial role of betAsatellites in severe disease development in Capsicum spp.

Multitasking in replication is common among geminiviruses.

Werner Preiss, +1 more
- 01 Mar 2003 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that multitasking in replication is widespread, at least for African cassava mosaic, Beet curly top, Tomato golden mosaic, and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus.

Begomovirus genetic diversity in the native plant reservoir Solanum nigrum: Evidence for the presence of a new virus species of recombinant nature.

Susana García-Andrés, +3 more
- 05 Jul 2006 - 
TL;DR: The native plant host Solanum nigrum is examined as reservoir of genetic diversity of begomoviruses that cause the tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) emerging in southern Spain to suggest a step forward in the ecological adaptation to the invaded area.

Multiple infection, recombination and genome relationships among begomovirus isolates found in cotton and other plants in Pakistan

Ana I. Sanz, +7 more
- 01 Jul 2000 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that recombination among such pre-existing sequences was crucial for the emergence of CLCuV-PK, and could also explain the network of relationships among many of the begomoviruses found in the Indian subcontinent, and their evolutionary divergence, as a group, from begomviruses causing similar diseases in other geographical regions.

Recombination, decreased host specificity and increased mobility may have driven the emergence of maize streak virus as an agricultural pathogen.

Arvind Varsani, +13 more
- 01 Sep 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is found that MSV-A variants may both move between and become established in different regions of Africa with greater ease, and infect more grass species than other MSV strains, goes some way towards explaining why MSv-A is such a successful maize pathogen.

Increased pathogenicity in a pseudorecombinant bipartite geminivirus correlates with intermolecular recombination.

Y M Hou, +1 more
- 01 Aug 1996 - 
TL;DR: The first demonstration of recombination between distinct bipartite geminiviruses is provided and it is established that the bipartITE genome can facilitate viral evolution through pseudorecombination and intermolecular recombination.
