Viruses, 2022 Putative replication-associated protein (REP) and capsid-like (CAP) proteins are encoded by circular single-stranded DNA viruses (CRESS DNA), which have been found in samples from most eukaryotic groups. However, the details of these viruses’ life cycles

A SUMO interacting motif in the replication initiator protein of tomato yellow leaf curl virus is required for viral replication [PDF]
Journal of VirologyCircular Rep-encoding single-stranded (CRESS)-DNA viruses comprise a diverse group of viruses that use rolling-circle replication to copy their genomes. They infect organisms in almost all branches of the eukaryotic tree of life.

Virus Discovery in Desert Tortoise Fecal Samples: Novel Circular Single-Stranded DNA Viruses
Viruses, 2020 The Sonoran Desert tortoise Gopherus morafkai is adapted to the desert, and plays an important ecological role in this environment. There is limited information on the viral diversity associated with tortoises (family Testudinidae), and to date no DNA ...

Single-Stranded DNA Viruses in Antarctic Cryoconite Holes
Viruses, 2019 Antarctic cryoconite holes, or small melt-holes in the surfaces of glaciers, create habitable oases for isolated microbial communities with tightly linked microbial population structures. Viruses may influence the dynamics of polar microbial communities,
