First report of Tomato interveinal chlorosis virus infecting plants in Brazil.

Tomato interveinal chlorosis virus (ToICV; , genus , family ) has been described infecting tomato () and in Northeastern (NE) Brazil for more than a decade (Albuquerque et al., 2012; Silva et al., 2012).

Taxonomic Classification of Geminiviruses Based on Pairwise Sequence Comparisons.

Geminiviridae is the largest and one of the most diverse families of plant viruses, comprising 14 genera demarcated based on host range, type of insect vector, and phylogenetic relationships. The use of unbiased, whole-genome multiple displacement amplification techniques coupled with high-throughput sequencing has greatly expanded our knowledge of geminivirus diversity over the last two decades. As a result, a large number of new species have been described in recent years.

Amesuviridae: a new family of plant-infecting viruses in the phylum Cressdnaviricota, realm Monodnaviria.

The phylum Cressdnaviricota comprises viruses with single-stranded, circular DNA genomes that encode an HUH-type endonuclease (known as Rep). The phylum includes two classes, eight orders, and 11 families. Here, we report the creation of a twelfth family in the order Mulpavirales, class Arfiviricetes of the phylum Cressdnaviricota.
