    Daniel J Cardinale
    Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 14 College Farm Road, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA
    Viruses 5:162-81. 2013
    ..Constraints such as genomic architecture and secondary structure can and do influence codon usage in plant viruses, and likely in viruses of other hosts...
  2. ncbi A divergent variant of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 is present in California
    Yeemey Seah
    Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, 14 College Farm Rd, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA
    Virol J 9:235. 2012
    ..During a survey of Napa Valley vineyards (California, USA), we found evidence of a new variant of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3). We isolated its genome from a symptomatic greenhouse-raised plant and fully sequenced it...
  3. ncbi Experimental evidence indicating that mastreviruses probably did not co-diverge with their hosts
    Gordon W Harkins
    South African National Bioinformatics Institute, University of the Western Cape, Cape Town, South Africa
    Virol J 6:104. 2009
    ..The credibility of this hypothesis, therefore, hinges on the testable claim that negative selection during mastrevirus evolution is so potent that it effectively purges 99.999% of all mutations that occur...
  4. ncbi Validation of high rates of nucleotide substitution in geminiviruses: phylogenetic evidence from East African cassava mosaic viruses
    Siobain Duffy
    Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics, Department of Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
    J Gen Virol 90:1539-47. 2009
    ..We also validated our rate estimates by comparing them with those depicting the emergence of TYLCV in North America. These results further support the notion that geminiviruses evolve as rapidly as many RNA viruses...

    Siobain Duffy
    Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics, Department of Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, Mueller Laboratory, University Park, PA 16802, USA
    J Virol 82:957-65. 2008
    ..Our results therefore suggest that the high evolutionary rate of the geminiviruses is not primarily due to frequent recombination and may explain their ability to emerge in novel hosts...

    Department of Biology, Mueller Laboratory, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
    J Virol 83:12813-21. 2009
    ..This high rate of evolution may allow PCV2 to maintain evolutionary dynamics closer to those of single-stranded RNA viruses than to those of double-stranded DNA viruses, further facilitating the rapid emergence of PCV2 worldwide...

    Siobain Duffy

    Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 365:1891-7. 2010

    Siobain Duffy
    Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics, Department of Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, Mueller Laboratory, University Park, PA 16802, USA
