The discovery and full-genome sequences of two isolates of a fourth capulavirus species are reported. The viruses were discovered during a viral metagenomics survey of uncultivated Plantago lanceolata plants in the Åland archipelago of south western Finland. The newly discovered viruses apparently produce no symptoms in P. lanceolata. They have a genome organization that is very similar to that of the three known capulavirus species and additionally share between 62.9 and 67.1% genome-wide sequence identity with the isolates of these species. It is therefore proposed that these viruses be assigned to a new capulavirus species named "Plantago lanceolata latent virus".

A novel capulavirus was identified by high-throughput sequencing in four sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plants collected in April 2023 in Normandy (France). The complete genome of 2744 nucleotides (nt) was sequenced and found to have an organization similar to that of known capulaviruses, with which it showed close phylogenetic relationships.

A novel geminivirus was identified in France and Spain in asymptomatic plants of white clover (Trifolium repens) and shrub medick (Medicago arborea). Its genome has the hallmarks of a capulavirus, and its relationship to other capulaviruses was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis. White clover isolates formed a tight cluster in the phylogenetic tree, while shrub medick isolates formed two distinct, more divergent groups with sequence identity values close to the species cutoff.

Understanding the molecular evolution and diversity changes of begomoviruses is crucial for predicting future outbreaks of the begomovirus disease in tomato crops. Thus, a molecular diversity study using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) was carried out on samples of infected tomato leaves collected between 2003 and 2016 from Central Brazil. DNA samples were subjected to rolling circle amplification and pooled in three batches, G1 (2003-2005, N = 107), G2 (2009-2011, N = 118), and G3 (2014-2016, N = 129) prior to HTS.

Two members of the genus Capulavirus (Geminiviridae) are transmitted by aphids including Alfalfa leaf curl virus (ALCV) transmitted by Aphis craccivora. The capulavirus Euphorbia caput-medusae latent virus was shown here to be transmitted also by A. craccivora, using the population EuphorbiaSA.

Background: Geminiviridae is one of the best-characterized and hence, one of the largest plant-virus families with the highest economic importance. Its members characteristically have a circular ssDNA genome within the encapsidation of twinned quasi-icosaheadral virions (18-38 nm size-range).
Objective: Construction of a narrative review on geminiviruses, to have a clearer picture of their genomic structure and taxonomic status.
