Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Sweet potato leaf curl virus (SPLCV) was the most prevalent virus in sweetpotato.
- Observation Sweet potato symptomless virus 1 (SPSMV-1) was detected for the first time in Burkina Faso, co-infecting with SPLCV.
- Method / resource Nanopore sequencing with rolling circle amplification successfully amplified 53 of 98 samples.
- Observation Twenty-eight complete and 25 partial CRESS-DNA virus genomes were recovered from sweetpotato.
- Observation The CRESS-DNA viruses of sweetpotato showed high genomic diversity.
- Observation 52 deltasatellite genomes (50 complete, 2 partial) were identified in association with SPLCV.
- Observation The deltasatellite genomes show approximately 86% nucleotide identity with known sequences.
- Observation SPFMV commonly co-occurs with SPLCV in sweetpotato.
- Observation Four complete SPFMV genomes clustered within phylogroup B, forming a distinct subclade.
- Observation Sweepovirus-associated deltasatellites were reported for the first time in Burkina Faso.
