Virome analysis uncovers the tomato virosphere and a novel recombinant begomovirus–alphasatellite complex causing leaf curl disease in India [PDF]
Background Begomoviruses are circular single-stranded DNA viruses transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci and are major causal agents of leaf curl disease in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The present study aimed to comprehensively characterize the

Association of an atypical alphasatellite with a bipartite New World begomovirus
International audienceThe complete sequence of a watermelon-infecting Venezuelan begomovirus was obtained; it corresponds to that of the partially characterized melon chlorotic mosaic virus (MeCMV). MeCMV is a typical bipartite New World begomovirus.

High-Throughput Sequencing Identified Distinct Bipartite and Monopartite Begomovirus Variants Associated with DNA-Satellites from Tomato and Muskmelon Plants in Saudi Arabia [PDF]
The studies on the prevalence and genetic diversity of begomoviruses in Saudi Arabia are minimal. In this study, field-grown symptomatic tomato and muskmelon plants were collected, and initially, begomovirus infection was confirmed by the core coat ...

Comparative analysis of common regions found in babuviruses and alphasatellite molecules
Viruses in the genus Babuvirus have multi-component ssDNA genomes and often associate with alphasatellite molecules containing two common motifs, a common-region stem-loop (CR-SL) involved in initiation of rolling-circle replication and a common-region ...
