Abstract
This is the first description of the complete genome sequence of a new monopartite begomovirus isolated from tomato leaves with symptoms of tomato (yellow) leaf curl disease collected on Reunion Island, for which we propose the name "tomato yellow leaf curl Reunion virus" (TYLCREV). Phylogenetic analysis showed that TYLCREV belongs to the Old World monopartite begomoviruses and is most closely related to tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). The genome of TYLCREV displays evidence of interspecies recombination and is composed of a portion (52%) that is closely related to TYLCV (>97.6% sequence identity) and a portion (48%) that is closely related to begomoviruses that have been found in tomato plants in Madagascar (> 91.6% sequence identity). The discovery of TYLCREV in diseased tomato plants in Reunion calls for epidemiological surveillance and further investigations to assess the prevalence and risks associated to this new virus in Reunion and beyond.
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.
