Begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) cause diseases in a wide range of economically important crops and are known to persist in weed hosts. Sida acuta Burm. f. is a widespread weed in India that frequently exhibits begomovirus-like yellow mosaic and leaf curling symptoms, but its contribution to begomovirus diversity and population dynamics has not been systematically examined. In this study, we conducted a...
