The self-replicating polerovirus-associated RNAs have recently been classified as tombusvirus-like associated (tlaRNAs). In a metagenomic comparison of the virome wild (Daucus carota subsp. carota) and cultivated (D. sativus) carrots, four tlaRNAs were identified: carrot red leaf virus-associated RNA (CtRLVaRNA), beet western yellows (BWYVaRNA), two other detected for first time in arracacha la...

A new variant of cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) (genus: Polerovirus, family: Solemoviridae) was discovered in (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fields that were reported to be infested with aphids and whiteflies southern Alabama 2017. Prior the confirmation CLRDV, speculation focused on as a potential vector then-unknown virus. Although only transmit CLRDV is aphid, Aphis gossypii (Glover), two reco...

Cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) is an introduced Polerovirus (Family: Solemoviridae) of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., in the U.S. The only vector known to transmit this cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover; however, there are seven other species aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) reported colonize southeastern U.S.: Protaphis middletonii (Thomas), Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominale (Sasaki), craccivor...
