Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The two novel sadwaviruses shared low amino acid sequence identity (34.8 to 41.3%) with the Pro-pol homologs of PSV-A and PSV-B.
- Observation A complete genome of 7485 bp for pineapple bacilliform ER virus was retrieved from one of the datasets.
- Observation 69 viral sequences representing ten members of the Ampelovirus, Sadwavirus and Badnavirus genera were discovered in pineapple.
- Observation Genetic diversity and recombination events were found in members of the PMWaV complex and in PSVs.
- Observation PMWaV-1, PMWaV-3 and PMWaV-6 presented recombination events across the quintuple gene block.
- Observation No recombination events were found for PMWaV-2.
- Observation The high recombination frequency of RNA1 and RNA2 of PSV-A and PSV-B was congruent with the diversity found by phylogenetic analyses.
- Recommendation The reported and validated RT-PCR assays are recommended as an important advance for surveillance of pineapple viral infections.
