Abstract:
Here, we report the genome of a putative densovirus infecting the carrot psyllid Bactericera trigonica, obtained by inverse PCR and named Bactericera trigonica densovirus (BtDNV). The ambisense genome of BtDNV is identical in structure to those of the ambidensoviruses, and its encoded proteins share the highest sequence identity with the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri densovirus.

Archaeal viruses play a crucial role in the ecosystems of extremophilic archaea, particularly those belonging to the phyla Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota. By shaping host evolution and facilitating gene transfer, these viruses influence microbial communities and contribute to genetic diversity in extreme environments. The archaea they infect thrive in acidic hot springs and hydrothermal vents characterized by high temperatures and low pH. Archaeal viruses exhibit remarkable structural...

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, utilizing their genetic material to hijack host cellular machinery for replication. DNA bacteriophages employ single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes. These phages exhibit diverse replication strategies and host interactions, influencing their ecological roles and applications in biotechnology and medicine.ssDNA BacteriophagesssDNA phages, with their small genomes, utilize unique strategies to...
