Identification of the wild and cultivated hosts of wheat dwarf virus and oat dwarf virus in Iran.

In the last decade two mastreviruses, (WDV) and (ODV) have been reported from cereal farms in Iran. In a survey, wild and cultivated hosts of these mastreviruses were studied during 2015 to 2017. Symptomatic small grain cereal samples and weed species were collected and assayed for WDV and/or ODV infection by PCR.

Genome Sequences of , , , and Identified in Leafhoppers.

Implementation of a vector-enabled metagenomics approach resulted in the identification of various geminiviruses. We identified the genome sequences of , , , the first from Iran, and from leafhoppers feeding on beet, parsley, pumpkin, and turnip plants.
