Viromics in flat mites from Hawaii shows abundant arrays of viruses, expands the evolutionary origin of plant viruses, and provides a surveillance tool for Brevipalpus-transmitted viruses

Alejandro Olmedo-Velarde, Kota Nakasato, Adriana E. Larrea-Sarmiento, Michael J. Melzer

This study uses HTS to analyze the virome of flat mites, identifying new viruses and expanding the evolutionary origins of plant viruses, while providing a tool for monitoring BTVs in mites.
