Dasheen mosaic virus (DsMV) is an important constraint to production of cocoyam (Xanthosoma spp.) in Nicaragua. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify the coat protein (CP) region from ten Nicaraguan DsMV isolates. These isolates showed high nucleotide identity to DsMV isolates from the USA, eastern Asia and Australasia. All Nicaraguan isolates except one shared a tandem repeat in the N-terminus of the CP. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the Nicaraguan isolates formed two distinct subgroups correlated with geographic origin. This can be explained by different origins of the cocoyam genotypes grown in these regions.

Article Synopsis
- * RNA sequencing and virus indexing revealed the presence of six viruses, including Canna yellow mottle virus and two new ones, causing symptoms in infected plants.
- * Mealybugs and aphids were identified as vectors for these viruses, with further studies needed to confirm the relationship between viral infections and the decline in flowering ginger health.

Viral diseases are becoming an important problem in Amorphophallus production due to the propagation of seed corms and their trade across regions. In this study, combined-High-Throughput Sequencing, RT-PCR, electron microscopy, and mechanical inoculation were used to analyze virus-like infected Amorphophallus samples in Yunnan province to investigate the distribution, molecular characterization, and diversity and evolution of Amorphophallus-infecting viruses including three isolates of dasheen mosaic virus and three orthotospoviruses: mulberry vein banding associated virus (MVBaV), tomato zonate spot virus (TZSV) and impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV). The results showed that DsMV is the dominant virus infecting Amorphophallus, mixed infections with DsMV and MVBaV to Amorphophallus were quite common in Yunnan province, China.

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University, Shanghai, China.
As with many diseases, tumor formation in colorectal cancer (CRC) is multifactorial and involves immune, environmental factors and various genetics that contribute to disease development. Accumulating evidence suggests that the gut microbiome is linked to the occurrence and development of CRC, and these microorganisms are important for immune maturation. However, a systematic perspective integrating microbial profiling, T cell receptor (TCR) and somatic mutations in humans with CRC is lacking.

Article Synopsis
- * Out of nine symptomatic plants tested, eight were found to be positive for Zantedeschia mildews (ZaMV and ZaMMV), but one plant exhibited unique symptoms and did not yield detectable PCR results for these viruses.
- * To identify the virus causing the unusual symptoms, high-throughput sequencing of RNA from the symptomatic plant revealed the presence of a new isolate of Daisy mottle virus (DsMV), sharing significant genetic similarity with other DsMV isolates from different countries.
Examination of the Virome of Taro Plants Affected by a Lethal Disease, the Alomae-Bobone Virus Complex, in Papua New Guinea.

Department of Plant and Environmental Protection Sciences, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA.
Alomae-bobone virus complex (ABVC) is a lethal but still understudied disease that is limited to the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. The only virus clearly associated to ABVC is Colocasia bobone disease-associated virus (CBDaV). Taro () plants with and without symptoms of ABVC disease were sampled from two locations in Papua New Guinea and examined for viruses using high-throughput sequencing (HTS).
