Next-generation sequencing of RNA extracted from a pumpkin plant with mosaic symptoms in Kenya identified the presence of a polerovirus sequence closely related to pepo aphid-borne yellows virus (PABYV). The near-complete polerovirus sequence comprised 5,810 nucleotides and contained seven putative open reading frames (ORFs) with a genome organisation typical of poleroviruses. BLASTp analysis of the translated sequences of ORFs 0, 1 and 2 revealed that their amino acid sequences differed by more than 10% from the corresponding protein sequences of other poleroviruses. These results suggest that this virus is a putative novel member of the genus Polerovirus, which has been provisionally named "pumpkin polerovirus" (PuPV).

The green peach aphid () is a generalist pest damaging crops and transmitting viral pathogens. Using Illumina sequencing of small (s)RNAs and poly(A)-enriched long RNAs, we analyzed aphid virome components, viral gene expression and antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) responses. Myzus persicae densovirus (family ), a single-stranded (ss)DNA virus persisting in the aphid population, produced 22 nucleotide sRNAs from both strands of the entire genome, including 5'- and 3'-inverted terminal repeats.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 72 known and numerous novel miRNAs were identified in both non-viruliferous and viruliferous aphids, with differences in expression noted, particularly in viruliferous aphids under one treatment condition.
- * The findings suggest that BrYV influences miRNA expression, with specific targeted pathways involved in metabolism and neuroactivity, which could enhance understanding of BrYV transmission mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- - Bur cucumber, an invasive species in South Korea, was surveyed in July 2024, revealing that around 5% of the plants showed viral symptoms like yellowing and mosaic patterns across five southeastern regions.
- - Researchers collected 25 leaf samples for RT-PCR testing to identify nine common cucurbit viruses, finding that Watermelon Mosaic Virus (WMV) was present in 16 samples and co-infection with Cucurbit Aphid-Borne Yellows Virus (CABYV) in 6 samples.
- - Symptoms varied, with WMV causing mosaic patterns and more severe yellowing seen in co-infected samples, highlighting the need for monitoring both viruses due to their combined effects on plant health and agricultural yield
Arachis mottle-associated virus, a new polerovirus infecting Pinto peanut.

A new polerovirus, named "arachis mottle-associated virus" (ArMoV), was identified by high-throughput sequencing in a Pinto peanut (Arachis pintoi) plant. The genome sequence was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and contains 5775 nucleotides and seven predicted open reading frames (ORFs), showing a typical polerovirus genome structure. All of the proteins encoded by ArMoV showed less than 90% amino acid sequence identity to those of other poleroviruses, the threshold to establish a new species in the genus.
