The Dominican Republic has a significant area of the country cultivated with vegetables. In July 2013, in provinces Moca and La Vega, horticultural crops showed typical tospovirus symptoms (>30% incidence), including bronzing, chlorosis, necrosis, ring spots on leaves fruits. Samples were collected from potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), long beans (Vignaun guiculata), chili peppers (Capsicum frutescens), sweet (C. annuum), tomatoes (S. lycopersicum). Serological tests clearly positive for...
Natural infection with SARS-CoV-2 and vaccines triggers the formation of antibodies against S glycoprotein, which are detected by antibody-based diagnostic tests. Our analysis showed that variation in glycoprotein is a general feature all species genus Betacoronavirus , including three infect humans: SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV.
The Tomato chlorotic spot virus (TCSV) was first reported in the 1980s, having its occurrence limited to Brazil and Argentina. Due an apparent mild severity past, molecular studies concerning TCSV were neglected. However, has disseminated over USA Caribbean countries. In Dominican Republic been recently on important cultivated crops such as pepper beans. this work, we provide complete genome of a isolate from symptomatic plants Republic, which obtained by high-throughput sequencing....
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is an important edible legume crop in Puerto Rico. In late fall 1997, symptoms of a golden mosaic virus were observed pigeon planting the municipality Villalba. The resembled those incited by Rhynchosia virus, whitefly-transmitted (1). Tests with 3F7 antigeminivirus antibody from Agdia (Elkhart, IN) confirmed presence begomovirus these symptomatic peas. Extraction DNA dried foliar tissue was accomplished methods described Rojas et al. (2), and...
