Abstract excerpt
Viruses of the species Mal de Río Cuarto virus (genus Fijivirus, family Reoviridae) cause significant economic losses in maize in Argentina. Genetic changes in the virus genome leading to better adaptation to diverse ecological conditions were postulated that would account for the increasing MRCV variability. The genomic differences between MRCV isolates from four ecologically different areas (Río Cuarto, RC;...
