A tiny fraction of these viruses, primarily those causing severe economic burden to prominent crops, have been fully characterized. In this study, based on high-throughput sequencing, transmission electron microscopy analyses of virions in plant-infected tissues, viral transmission experiments, and the morphoanatomical identification of the involved <i>Brevipalpus</i> mites, we describe molecular and biological features of viruses representing three new tentative species of the family <i>Kitaviridae</i>.
