Abstract
A new genomovirus has been identified in three common bean plants in Brazil. This virus has a circular genome of 2,220 nucleotides and 3 major open reading frames. It shares 80.7% genome-wide pairwise identity with a genomovirus recovered from Tongan fruit bat guano.

A new genomovirus has been identified in three common bean plants in Brazil
There are more than 100 genomoviruses that have been identified in various organisms and environmental samples summarized in Krupovic et al [1]
Within a Brazilian context, genomoviruses have been identified in human feces, river, and wastewater samples [2, 3]
Summary
A new genomovirus has been identified in three common bean plants in Brazil. This virus has a circular genome of 2,220 nucleotides and 3 major open reading frames. Genomoviridae is a recently established family of circular replication–associated protein (Rep)– encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA viruses [1]. The family currently has one genus, Gemycircularvirus, with a single recognized species, Sclerotinia gemycircularvirus 1. There are more than 100 genomoviruses that have been identified in various organisms and environmental samples summarized in Krupovic et al [1].
