The geminiviruses are a family of small, non-enveloped viruses with single-stranded, circular DNA genomes of 2500-5200 bases. Geminiviruses are transmitted by various types of insect (whiteflies, leafhoppers, treehoppers and aphids). Members of the genus Begomovirus are transmitted by whiteflies, those in the genera Becurtovirus, Curtovirus, Grablovirus, Mastrevirus and Turncurtovirus are transmitted by specific leafhoppers, the single member of the genus Topocuvirus is transmitted by a treehopper and one member of the genus Capulavirus is transmitted by an aphid. Geminiviruses are plant pathogens causing economically important diseases in most tropical and subtropical regions of the world. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the taxonomy of the Geminiviridae which is available at www.ictv.global/report/geminiviridae.
双生病毒是一类小型无包膜病毒，其单链环状DNA基因组由2500至5200个碱基组成。双生病毒通过多种昆虫传播（粉虱、叶蝉、角蝉和蚜虫）。菜豆金色花叶病毒属的成员由粉虱传播，贝库特病毒属、曲顶病毒属、格拉布洛病毒属、玉米线条病毒属和曲顶病毒属的成员由特定叶蝉传播，番茄伪曲顶病毒属的唯一成员由角蝉传播，而帽状病毒属的一个成员由蚜虫传播。双生病毒是植物病原体，在世界上大多数热带和亚热带地区引发具有经济重要性的疾病。这是国际病毒分类委员会（ICTV）关于双生病毒科分类报告的摘要，该报告可在www.ictv.global/report/geminiviridae获取。
