Abstract
This is the first description of the complete genome sequence of a newly characterized monopartite begomovirus isolated from an asymptomatic uncultivated plant, Melochia tomentosa, collected in Burkina Faso. The sequence was obtained through rolling-circle amplification, cloning, and Sanger sequencing. The provisional species name “Begomovirus melochiae” and common virus name “melochia associated virus” (MeAV) are proposed. The MeAV genome was found to share the most nucleotide sequence similarity with three African monopartite begomoviruses: tomato curly stunt virus (74%), pepper yellow vein Mali virus (73%), and tomato leaf curl Cameroon virus (73%). Phylogenetic analysis confirmed its relationship to Old World monopartite begomoviruses. The discovery of MeAV in an uncultivated and asymptomatic plant provides a further example of the high diversity of begomoviruses in sub-Saharan African ecosystems.
期刊介绍：
Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
