Abstract excerpt
Carlavirus vignae, with the common name cowpea mild mottle virus (CPMMV), has become a widespread carlavirus infecting economically important crops worldwide. CPMMV is transmitted by whiteflies, whereas other members of the Carlavirus genus are generally transmitted by aphids. Recently, the virus has been isolated from various host plants, including cucurbit plants in Brazil, exhibiting a wide genomic variation....
