In this work, we report the detection of a novel single-strand RNA virus from wheat, tentatively named "Triticum aestivum-associated virga-like virus 1" (TaAVLV1). Further characterization revealed that the complete genome of TaAVLV1 is divided into two segments, RNA1 and RNA2, which are 3530 and 3466 nt in length, excluding their respective polyA tails, and each contains only one open reading frame (ORF). The ORF of RNA1 encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), while the ORF of RNA2 encodes a putative protein with methyltransferase and helicase domains. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the RdRp of TaAVLV1 is closely related to those of members of the unclassified virga-like virus group in the family Virgaviridae. Thus, we have identified TaAVLV1 as a putative novel virga-like virus belonging to the family Virgaviridae.

Studies on animal virome have mainly concentrated on chordates and medically significant invertebrates, often overlooking sylvatic mosquitoes, constituting a major part of mosquito species diversity. Despite their potential role in arbovirus transmission, the viromes of sylvatic mosquitoes remain largely unexplored. These mosquitoes may also harbor insect-specific viruses (ISVs), affecting arboviral transmission dynamics.

A novel virga-like virus, provisionally named Rubber tree latent virus 2 (RTLV2), was identified from rubber tree (). It is a close relative of the previously reported Rubber tree latent virus 1 (RTLV1). The complete genomes of RTLV1 and RTLV2 were sequenced and comparatively analyzed in terms of genome organization, putative gene products and phylogenetic relationship.

Viruses-mediated genome editing in plants is a powerful strategy to develop plant cultivars with important and novel agricultural traits. Mulberry alba is an important economic tree species that has been cultivated in China for more than 5000 years. So far, only a few viruses have been identified from mulberry trees, and their application potential is largely unknown.
