Begomoviruses (Family Geminiviridae, Genus Begomovirus) have become the most
destructive group of plant viruses in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The recent …

Geminiviruses form the second largest family of plant viruses, the Geminiviridae,
represented by four genera: Mastrevirus, Curtovirus, Topocuvirus and Begomovirus. During …

This work provides evidence of the significant contribution of recombination to the genetic

We examined the native plant host Solanum nigrum as reservoir of genetic diversity of
begomoviruses that cause the tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) emerging in …

Global population forecasts dictate a rapid adoption of multifaceted approaches to fulfill
increasing food requirements, ameliorate food dietary value and security using sustainable …

Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD)-associated viruses present a highly structured
population in the western Mediterranean basin, depending on host, geographical region …

Begomoviruses are plant DNA viruses for which recombination plays a key role in driving
evolution. However, little is known about how frequently begomovirus recombinants arise in …

The number of plant viruses that are known likely remains only a vanishingly small fraction
of all extant plant virus species. Consequently, the distribution and population dynamics of …
