Abstract

A novel iflavirus was discovered from the transcriptome of the leafhopper Graminella nigrifrons. The assembled virus genome has 9,700 nucleotides (nt) and encodes a 3,035-amino-acid polyprotein. Sanger sequencing was used to confirm the sequence encoding the polyprotein and indicated a genome length of 9,617 nt with a polyadenylated tail.

Highlights

  • The transmission efficiency of MCDV varies between male and female G. nigrifrons [9], and vector competence for MFSV varies within the same G. nigrifrons populations [5, 7]

  • The genome sequence GNV.sqn GNV-1 was deposited in GenBank under the accession no

  • Redinbaugh, USDA-ARS Corn Soybean and Wheat Quality Research, and Department of Plant Pathology, The Ohio State University–OARDC, for insects from the G. nigrifrons laboratory colony
