Emergence of insect-transmitted plant viruses over the past 10–20 years has been
disproportionately driven by two so-called supervectors: the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, and the …

While single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was once thought to be a relatively rare genomic
architecture for viruses, modern metagenomics sequencing has revealed circular ssDNA …

Geminiviruses are plant-infecting single-stranded DNA viruses that occur in most parts of the
world. Currently, there are seven genera within the family Geminiviridae (Becurtovirus …

Geminiviruses have small, single-stranded DNA genomes that replicate through double-
stranded intermediates in the nuclei of infected plant cells. Viral double-stranded DNA also …

Recent advances in the ease with which the genomes of small circular single-stranded DNA
viruses can be amplified, cloned, and sequenced have greatly accelerated the rate at which …
