The phylogenetic relationship between the complete genomic sequences of ten Japanese and one French isolate of TT virus-like mini virus (TLMV) was investigated. Analysis of the variability of the nucleotide sequences and the detection of signature patterns for overlapping genes suggested that ORFs 1 and 2 are probably functional. However, this was not the case for a putative third ORF, ORF3. Throughout the viral genome, several nucleotide or amino acid motifs that are conserved in circoviruses such as TT virus (TTV) and chicken anaemia virus were identified. Phylogenetic analysis distinguished three main groups of TLMV and allowed the identification of putative recombination breakpoints in the untranslated region. TLMV genomes were detected by PCR in the plasma of 38/50 French blood donors tested and were also identified in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, faeces and saliva. A phylogenetic study of 37 TLMV strains originating from France, Japan and Brazil showed that groupings were not related to geographical origin.

Wheat is an important cereal crop globally and in the United States, and is the largest crop grown by acreage in Colorado. In June 2023, we observed wheat fields displaying severe yellowing and virus-like disease symptoms in plants across seven eastern Colorado counties (Yuma, Prowers, Kit Carson, Washington, Sedgewick, Morgan, and Weld). Symptomatic plants were prominent in fields and appeared bright yellow, with ringspots, mosaic patterning, and streaking on leaves.

Seagrasses are a polyphyletic group of marine flowering plants that play crucial roles in nearshore ecology, yet their interactions with viruses remain largely unexplored. This study presents the construction and characterization of an infectious cDNA clone of the potexvirus turtle grass virus X (TGVX). The complete genome of this positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus was amplified from field samples of and assembled into a pLX-based mini binary vector using a multi-fragment directional cloning strategy, resulting in the infectious clone pLX-TGVX.

In the summer of 2021, a field survey of several tomato-growing counties in Tennessee (TN) was conducted for plants exhibiting virus-like symptoms. While scouting in September in Grainger County, one of the largest areas under tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) production in TN, leaves from six tomato plants (cv. BHN 589) growing on a farm located near Rutledge were collected and subsequently stored at -80˚C.

Article Synopsis
- Plant viruses are significant threats to cucurbit production in Jordan, with symptoms observed during surveys in September 2022 indicating infections correlated with high whitefly populations.
- A total of 80 leaf samples from various cucurbits were analyzed, revealing the presence of multiple viruses, including the squash vein yellowing virus, across symptomatic samples without detection in asymptomatic ones.
- Molecular approaches confirmed the presence of several RNA and DNA viruses, but none were found in healthy samples, highlighting the impact of these pathogens on cucurbit crops.
