Article Synopsis
- Begomoviruses are plant pathogens that affect crop production worldwide, categorized into two main groups based on their geographical distribution: those from the AAEO region and those from the Americas.
- Monopartite viruses are more commonly found in the AAEO area, while bipartite viruses are predominant in the Americas, with notable genetic differences such as the absence of the V2/AV2 gene in the latter.
- Recent phylogenetic analyses confirm overall geographic groupings but highlight a distinct clade for sweet potato-infecting begomoviruses and suggest that globalization and evolving agricultural practices could disrupt current phylogenetic boundaries.
