Genome sequencing reveals the structure of iflavirus 1 in corn leafhopper, indicating viral diversity in hemipteran vectors.
We report a complete genome of chicharrita del maiz iflavirus 1 from the United States, determined by RNAseq, PCR, and RACE in RNA extracted from Dalbulus maidis (corn leafhopper). The genome encodes a 3,306-amino-acid polyprotein with conserved capsid and replication domains, expanding knowledge of iflavirus diversity in hemipteran vectors.
