Herbaceous plant hosts are essential to grapevine virus research. Such plants offer
numerous advantages as experimental hosts of viruses over Vitis species, the natural hosts …

The polerovirus (family Solemoviridae, genus Polerovirus) genome consists of single-,
positive-strand RNA organized in overlapping open reading frames (ORFs) that, in addition …

In this study, we analysed a total of 16 libraries from over 150 grapevine leaf and grape
samples infected with Plasmopara viticola (downy mildew of grapevine) to characterise the …

Investigating a virus's host range and cross-infection is important for better understanding
the epidemiology and emergence of viruses. Previously, our research group discovered a …

In the past decade, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) has had a major impact on virus
diversity studies as well as on diagnosis, providing an unbiased and more comprehensive …

The cocoa crop (Theobroma cacao L.) is known to be a host for several badnaviruses, some
of which cause severe disease, while others are asymptomatic. Recently, the first …

Transcriptome datasets available in public domain serve as valuable resource for
identification and characterization of novel viral genomes. Poleroviruses are economically …

This is the first viral metagenomic analysis of grapevine conducted in Mexico. During the
summer of 2021, 48 plants displaying virus-like symptoms were sampled in Queretaro, an …

Here, we report the identification and characterization of two novel viruses associated with
bird's-foot trefoil. Virus sequences related to those of enamoviruses (ssRNA (+); …

Viruses and viroids prevalent in a population of 42 wild grapevines (ie, free-living,
uncultivated grapevines; Vitis spp.) were compared with those in a population of 85 …
