RNA-seq data of banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) viruliferous and non-viruliferous banana aphid ().

Banana bunchy top disease (BBT) is one of the most economically serious viral diseases of banana caused by banana bunchy top virus (BBTV: Nanoviridae: Babuvirus). BBTV is a circular, ssDNA virus which is suitable in the phloem tissue and currently only being transmitted by the banana aphid () in a persistent, non-propagative, circulative manner. Interaction of BBTV and banana aphid had been studied in several ways, such as transmission and translocation of BBTV inside the banana aphid body at cellular level.
