Tomato cultivation across the world is severely affected by emerging plant viruses. An effective method for protection of commercial crops against viral threats use cultivars harboring resistance genes. brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), a recently emerged tobamovirus, able to overcome dominant
As viral genomic imprints in host genomes, endogenous elements (EVEs) shed light on the deep evolutionary history of viruses, ancestral ranges, and ancient viral-host interactions. In addition, they may provide crucial information for calibrating timescales. this study, we conducted a comprehensive silico screening large data set available mammalian genomes EVEs deriving from members family Flaviviridae, an important group viruses including well-known human pathogens, such as Zika, dengue,...
We report here the complete genome sequence of ruloma virus, a novel paramyxovirus detected in Machangu’s brush-furred rat from Tanzania. Ruloma virus has longest orthoparamyxovirus reported to date and forms sister clade all currently known members genus Jeilongvirus .
In July 2019, four rows of cucumber plants (
Abstract Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is regulated as a quarantine pest in many countries worldwide. To assess whether ToBRFV present cultivations, plants or seed lots, testing required. The interpretation of test results, however, can be challenging. Reverse transcription‐quantitative (real‐time) PCR even though considered “positive”, may not always signify plant infection indicate the presence infectious virus, but could due to viral residues environment. Here, case studies...
Recent years have witnessed the discovery of several new viruses belonging to family Arteriviridae, expanding known diversity and host range this group complex RNA viruses. Although pathological relevance these is not always clear, well-studied members Arteriviridae are be important animal pathogens. Here, we report complete genome sequences four arterivirus variants, two putative novel species. These arteriviruses were discovered in African rodents given names Lopma virus Praja virus. Their...
Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV; Tobamovirus fructirugosum) is a harmful significantly reducing yield and quality in tomato. It was first detected Israel Jordan 2015 quickly reached near-global distribution. Following the outbreak of ToBRFV Netherlands 2019, Dutch National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO-NL) created Nextstrain build, which update 2021 2023. Here we announce release 82 new (near) complete genomes with associated metadata fourth version build has expanded from 179...
Abstract Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is regulated as a quarantine pest in many countries worldwide. To assess whether ToBRFV present cultivations, plants or seed lots, testing required. The interpretation of test results, however, can be challenging. Real-time RT-PCR even though considered “positive”, may not always signify plant infection indicate the presence infectious virus, but could due to viral residues environment. Here, case studies from Netherlands, Belgium, and United...
