Viroids of the Mediterranean Basin [PDF]
There has been substantial progress in the Mediterranean countries regarding research on viroids. Twenty-nine viroid species, all belonging to Pospiviroidae and Avsunviroidae genera, have been detected in the Mediterranean Basin.

Viroids and Viroid-like Circular RNAs: Do They Descend from Primordial Replicators?
Viroids are a unique class of plant pathogens that consist of small circular RNA molecules, between 220 and 450 nucleotides in size. Viroids encode no proteins and are the smallest known infectious agents.

2018–2019 Florida Citrus Production Guide: Exocortis, Cachexia, and Other Viroids
Exocortis and cachexia are diseases caused by viroids, which can lead to stunted growth and reduced yields in affected plants. Viroids are small, low-molecular-weight, infectious RNA molecules.
