The first phlebo‐like virus infecting plants: a case study on the adaptation of negative‐stranded RNA viruses to new hosts

Summary A novel negative‐stranded (ns) RNA virus associated with a severe citrus disease reported more than 80 years ago has been identified. Transmission electron microscopy showed that this novel virus, tentatively named citrus concave gum‐associated virus, is flexuous and non‐enveloped. Notwithst...
