agriculture. The frequent emergence of new viral diseases is mainly due to international …

Citrus tristeza virus (CTV)(genus Closterovirus, family Closteroviridae) is the causal agent of
devastating epidemics that changed the course of the citrus industry. Adapted to replicate in …

Plant viruses are an important constraint to crop production world‐wide. Rarely have plant
virologists, vector entomologists and crop specialists worked together in search of …

Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is a phloem-limited virus whose natural host range is restricted to
citrus and related species. Although the virus has killed millions of trees, almost destroying …

RNA viruses have a great potential for genetic variation, rapid evolution and adaptation.
Characterization of the genetic variation of viral populations provides relevant information on …

The complex structure of virus populations has been the object of intensive study in bacteria,
animals, and plants for over a decade. While it is clear that tremendous genetic diversity is …

The p25 coat protein (CP) gene of Citrustristezavirus (CTV) was incorporated to Mexican
lime plants and forty-twotransgeniclines were produced, 25 containing the p25 CP gene of …

Isolates of the Closterovirus, Citrus tristeza virus (CTV), are populations of disparate
genotypes and defective RNAs developed during long periods of vegetative propagation of …

The genetic variation of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) was analysed by comparing the
predominant sequence variants in seven genomic regions (p33, p65, p61, p18, p13, p20 …
