A novel bipartite legumovirus (genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae), that naturally infects the wild leguminous plant Desmodium sp. in Uganda, was molecularly characterized and named Desmodium mottle virus. The highest nucleotide identities for DNA-A, obtained from two field-collected samples, were 79.9% and 80.1% with the legumovirus, soybean mild mottle virus. DNA-B had the highest nucleotide identities (65.4% and 66.4%) with a typical non-legumovirus Old World begomovirus, African cassava mosaic virus. This is the first report of a legumovirus in East Africa and extends the known diversity of begomoviruses found infecting wild plants in this continent.
一种新型双分体菜豆金色花叶病毒(菜豆金色花叶病毒属,双生病毒科),自然感染乌干达的野生豆科植物山蚂蝗属植物,经分子特征分析后被命名为山蚂蝗斑驳病毒。从两个田间采集样本获得的DNA-A与菜豆金色花叶病毒大豆轻度斑驳病毒的核苷酸同一性最高,分别为79.9%和80.1%。DNA-B与典型的旧大陆非菜豆金色花叶病毒非洲木薯花叶病毒的核苷酸同一性最高(分别为65.4%和66.4%)。这是东非首次报道菜豆金色花叶病毒,也扩展了该大陆发现的感染野生植物的已知双生病毒多样性。
