Characterization of bean necrotic mosaic virus: a member of a novel evolutionary lineage within the Genus Tospovirus.

<h4>Background</h4>Tospoviruses (Genus Tospovirus, Family Bunyaviridae) are phytopathogens responsible for significant worldwide crop losses. They have a tripartite negative and ambisense RNA genome segments, termed S (Small), M (Medium) and L (Large) RNA. The vector-transmission is medi...
