Infection of groundnut ringspot virus in characterized by irregular virus distribution and intermittent expression of symptoms.

, known as bridal bouquet, exhibiting characteristic symptoms of orthotospovirus infection were found in different localities in Brazil. Symptoms were restricted to leaves of the middle and lower thirds of a few branches of each plant. Electron microscopy, molecular analyses, and complete genome sequencing identified the orthotospovirus as groundnut ringspot virus (GRSV),member of the species .

A highly specific Serratia-infecting T7-like phage inhibits biofilm formation in two different genera of the Enterobacteriaceae family.

Due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, bacteriophages have become a viable alternative in controlling bacterial growth or biofilm formation. Biofilm is formed by extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and is one of the factors responsible for increasing bacterial resistance. Bacteriophages have been studied as a bacterial control agent by use of phage enzymes or due to their bactericidal activities.

First report of groundnut ringspot virus infecting Zinnia sp. in Brazil.

Zinnia sp. is a genus belonging to Asteraceae family, originated in Mexico and adapted to a warm-hot climate (Hemmati and Mehrnoosh, 2017). Several types of zinnias with different flower color and forms are cultivated in Brazil (Min et al.

First report of costus stripe mosaic virus infecting Tradescantia spathacea plants in Brazil.

Tradescantia spathacea (family Commelinaceae) is cultivated worldwide as an ornamental (Golczyk et al., 2013) and as medicinal plant (Tan et al., 2020).

Strongylodon macrobotrys: new host of soybean mosaic virus in Brazil.

Strongylodon macrobotrys, commonly known as the jade vine, emerald vine, or turquoise jade vine, is a species of Fabaceae native to the Philippines. The plants have blue-green color inflorescences, which makinge them one of the most admired ornamental plants in Brazil (Muniz et al. 2015).

Genomic analysis and immune response in a murine mastitis model of vB_EcoM-UFV13, a potential biocontrol agent for use in dairy cows.

Bovine mastitis remains the main cause of economic losses for dairy farmers. Mammary pathogenic Escherichia coli (MPEC) is related to an acute mastitis and its treatment is still based on the use of antibiotics. In the era of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) present as an efficient treatment or prophylactic option.

A T4virus prevents biofilm formation by Trueperella pyogenes.

Trueperella pyogenes is an opportunistic pathogen of many animal species. It causes economic losses worldwide, through mastitis, metritis and mainly endometritis in dairy cows. The ability of this bacterium to form biofilms is implicated in chronic infections through hampering immune system recognition and antibiotic penetration.
