In recent years plant viruses have been detected from many environments, including
domestic and wild plants and interfaces between these systems—aquatic sources, feces of …

Despite the seemingly continuous development of newer and ever more elaborate methods
for detecting and identifying viruses, very few of these new methods get adopted for routine …

Next-generation high throughput sequencing technologies became available at the onset of
the 21st century. They provide a highly efficient, rapid, and low cost DNA sequencing …

A fast, accurate, and full indexing of viruses and viroids in a sample for the inspection and
quarantine services and disease management is desirable but was unrealistic until recently …

The ability to provide a fast, inexpensive and reliable diagnostic for any given viral infection
is a key parameter in efforts to fight and control these ubiquitous pathogens. The recent …

Metagenomic surveys and data from next generation sequencing revealed that mixed
infections among plant viruses are probably a rule rather than an exception in natural …

RNA extracted from 120 leaf specimens from 17 plant species was pooled, and
polyadenylated RNA species were sequenced together without barcoding in one lane using …

Analysis of virus-derived small RNAs with high-throughput sequencing has been successful
for detecting novel viruses in plants and invertebrates. However, the applicability of this …

Double-stranded RNAs purified from the V2356 ('Successa') sour cherry source of the
Shirofugen stunt disease (SSD) were sequenced using a 454 pyrosequencing multiplex …

Brazil is one of the major passion fruit producers worldwide. Viral diseases are among the
most important constraints for passion fruit production. Here we identify and characterize a …
