Abstract excerpt
Sida mottle virus (SiMoV) and Sida micrantha mosaic virus (SiMMV) are major Brazilian begomoviruses (Geminiviridae). However, the range of DNA-A identity of isolates of these viruses (81-100%) is not in agreement with the current criteria for Begomovirus species demarcation (<91%). To clarify this putative classification problem, we performed a comprehensive set of molecular analyses with all 53 publicly...
