World management of geminiviruses
Rojas, Maria R.; Macedo, Monica A.; Maliano, Minor R.; Soto-Aguilar, Maria; Souza, Juliana O.; Briddon, Rob W.; Kenyon, LawrenceManagement of geminiviruses is a worldwide challenge because of the widespread distribution of economically important diseases caused by these viruses. Regardless of the type of agriculture, management is most effective with an integrated pest management (IPM) approach that involves measures before, during, and after the growing season. This includes starting with resistant cultivars and virus- and vector-free ...
Capulavirus and Grablovirus: two new genera in the family Geminiviridae
Murilo Zerbini, F.; Varsani, Arvind; Roumagnac, Philippe; Fuchs, Marc; Navas-Castillo, Jesús; Moriones, Enrique; Idris, Ali; Briddon, Rob W.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, Begomovirus, Curtovirus, Eragrovirus, Mastrevirus, Topocuvirus and Turncurtovirus). The rate of discovery of new geminiviruses has increased significantly over the last decade as a result of new molecular tools and approaches (rolli...
Revision of Begomovirus taxonomy based on pairwise sequence comparisons
Zerbini, F. Murilo; Brown, Judith K.; Navas-Castillo, Jesús; Moriones, Enrique; Ramos-Sobrinho, Roberto; Silva, José C. F.; Fiallo-Olivé, ElviraViruses of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae) are emergent pathogens of crops throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. By virtue of having a small DNA genome that is easily cloned, and due to the recent innovations in cloning and low-cost sequencing, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of available begomovirus genome sequences. Even so, most of the available sequences...
A genome-wide pairwise-identity-based proposal for the classification of viruse...
Zerbini, F. Murilo; Muhire, Brejnev; Martin, Darren P.; Brown, Judith K.; Navas-Castillo, Jesús; Moriones, Enrique; Rivera-Bustamante, RafaelRecent 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 full genome sequences of mastreviruses (family Geminiviridae, genus Mastrevirus) are being deposited in public sequence databases. Although guidelines currently exist for species-level classification of newly determined, complete mast...
Alphasatellitidae: a new family with two subfamilies for the classification of ...
Murilo Zerbini, F.; Briddon, Rob W.; Martin, Darren P.; Roumagnac, Philippe; Navas-Castillo, Jesús; Fiallo-Olivé, Elvira; Moriones, EnriqueNanoviruses and geminiviruses are circular, single stranded DNA viruses that infect many plant species around the world. Nanoviruses and certain geminiviruses that belong to the Begomovirus and Mastrevirus genera are associated with additional circular, single stranded DNA molecules (~ 1-1.4 kb) that encode a replication-associated protein (Rep). These Rep-encoding satellite molecules are commonly referred to a...
