Abstract Background Viruses have notable effects on agroecosystems, wherein they can adversely affect plant health and cause problems (e.g., increased biosecurity risks and economic losses). However, our knowledge of their diversity and interactions with specific host plants in ecosystems remains limited. To enhance our understanding of the roles t...

A new member of the genus Alphacarmovirus was detected in Stellaria aquatica using high-throughput RNA sequencing analysis. The complete genome sequence of this new virus isolate, tentatively named "Stellaria aquatica virus A" (StAV-A), comprises 4,017 nucleotides with five predicted open reading frames (ORFs) and has a typical alphacarmovirus geno...

Recent breakthroughs in High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) have opened up a plethora of new avenues for the diagnosis of plant viruses. Cnidium officinale is vegetatively propagated and a perennial plant in the family Apiaceae that is extensively cultivated for its medicinal roots in Korea, Japan, and China. It has been previously reported that wide...

The complete genome sequence of Stellaria aquatica virus B (StAVB), a new member of the genus Polerovirus that infects Stellaria aquatica, was determined using high-throughput RNA sequencing with confirmation by Sanger sequencing. The complete StAVB genome (GenBank accession no. OP389993) is 5,900 nucleotide (nt) long with seven open reading frames...

The complete genome sequence of a new caulimovirus in Pueraria montana was determined using high-throughput sequencing. The 7,572 nucleotide genome of pueraria virus A (PVA) contains genes that encode a movement protein, an aphid transmission factor, a virion-associated protein, a coat protein, a protease + reverse transcriptase + ribonuclease H, a...

The genome of a novel virus identified in Cnidium officinale is composed of a monopartite ssRNA of 16,755 nucleotides that shares 68.73% (query coverage, 20%) sequence identity with carrot yellow leaf virus (CYLV, accession no. FJ869862.1). It contains 11 putative open reading frames and has an organization typical of closteroviruses. It shares 30–...

Background Reproductive problem is one of the main constraints of livestock genetic improvement efforts in tropical countries. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of major infectious causes of reproductive problems of dairy cattle in selected dairy farms in central Ethiopia. Overall 86 serum samples were collected from October 201...

We herein present the complete genome sequence of codonopsis torradovirus A (CoTVA), which was isolated from Codonopsis lanceolata (deodeok) in Gangwon-do, South Korea. The CoTVA genome contains two positive-sense RNA segments, namely RNA1 (6922 nucleotides), which encodes a predicted polyprotein, and RNA2 (4613 nucleotides), which encodes a moveme...

Bacterial ailment remains a serious health problem due to its development of resistance to available antibiotics and created the need for replacement. In Ethiopia, the plant Croton macrostachyus are used as a traditional medicine for infectious diseases, but reports on its possible bactericidal activity is deficient, therefore the present study aim...
