Genomic analysis identifies a rhabdovirus in Stenchaetothrips biformis, suggesting evolutionary links to similar viruses.
The genome sequence of Stenchaetothrips biformis rhabdo-like virus (SbRLV) was discovered from the transcriptome sequencing of the rice pest thrips. The 12,436-nt RNA genome potentially encodes four proteins. Phylogenetic analysis groups SbRLV with unclassified thrips-associated rhabdo-like viruses related to Primrhavirus and Alphahymrhavirus .
