Genetic variability of blainvillea yellow spot virus (Begomovirus blainvilleae) reveals recombinant variants and a distinct nonanucleotide motif

The results confirm the high genetic variability of this virus which was hinted at in previous studies and will be directed at understanding the impact of the observed mutations in viral fitness, and whether this could facilitate spillover of BlYSV to other hosts, including cultivated plants.
