Implementation of a vector-enabled metagenomics approach resulted in the identification of various gemini viruses. We identified the genome sequences of beet curly top Iran virus, turnip curly top viruses, oat dwarf viruses, the first from Iran, and wheat dwarf virus from leafhoppers feeding on beet, parsley, pumpkin, and turnip plants.

Here we report the first complete genome sequence of a cauliflower mosaic virus from Brazil, obtained from the gut content of the predator earwig (Doru luteipes). This virus has a genome of 8,030 nucleotides (nt) and shares 97% genome-wide identity with an isolate from Argentina.

A new genomovirus has been identified in three common bean plants in Brazil. This virus has a circular genome of 2,220 nucleotides and 3 major open reading frames. It shares 80.7% genome-wide pairwise identity with a genomovirus recovered from Tongan fruit bat guano.
