The paper experimentally characterizes zeta viruses and discovers betaviroid-like RNAs, confirming their circular structure, ribozyme activity, and replication mechanisms.

The paper detects the first occurrence of beet curly top Iran virus in Europe using vector-enabled metagenomics combined with rolling circle amplification and high-throughput sequencing.

This study uses Oxford Nanopore sequencing to analyze begomovirus population dynamics in Sicilian tomato plants, revealing a shift from parental viruses to recombinant variants over time.

The study identifies a novel virus in freesia plants, expands the Konkoviridae family, and discusses the phylogenetic position of a virus in the Yueviridae family.
