Genetic Diversity of Cotton Leafroll Dwarf Virus from the Southwestern United States and Its Implications for the Multi-Introduction Event Hypothesis and Future Evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) is a viral agent recently identified in the United States in 2017 in Alabama. Since its identification, CLRDV has spread to every cotton-growing state east of New Mexico. Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas make up the westernmost border of reported CLRDV incidence, making monitoring of these states vital for proper control. Additionally, as the virus evolves, mutations that alter...
