Wild Citrus CTV Genomic Data Provides Novel Insights into Its Global Transmission Dynamics.

ABSTRACT: Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is an important pathogen threatening the global citrus industry, but its evolution and transmission mechanism in wild citrus has not been clarified. Most of the existing studies are based on CTV-specific gene fragments, lacking genome-wide analysis. There is especially a lack of understanding of CTV transmission dynamics in wild citrus, which needs further investigation. In this study, wild citrus samples from three provinces of China were collected, virus genome data were obtained by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology and combined with public database data, and Bayesian phylogeographic inference was used to analyze virus composition characteristics in wild citrus, as well as the population genetic structure, temporal dynamic evolution, and spatial tran
