Cassava brown streak virus has a rapidly evolving genome: implications for virus speciation, variability, diagnosis and host resistance

T. Alicai, J. Ndunguru, P. Sseruwagi, F. Tairo, G. Okao-Okuja, R. Nanvubya, L. Kiiza, L. Kubatko, M. A. Kehoe, L. M. Boykin

The paper compares the evolutionary rates of Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV) using whole genome sequences, finding CBSV evolves faster and has more nonsynonymous substitutions.
