Structure

Viruses in Lolavirus are non-enveloped, with flexuous and filamentous geometries. The diameter is around 13 nm, with a length of 640 nm. Genomes are linear, around 7.6kb in length, [2] with five open reading frames that encode the replication-associated protein, the movement-associated triple gene block proteins, and the coat protein (which is cleaved into two parts weighing about 28 and 33 kDa). [1] [4] The genome codes for 6 proteins. [2]

Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic, and is lysogenic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the positive stranded RNA virus replication model. Positive stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by tripartite non-tubule guided viral movement. Plants serve as the natural host. [2]

<i>Geminiviridae</i> Family of viruses

Geminiviridae is a family of plant viruses that encode their genetic information on a circular genome of single-stranded (ss) DNA. There are 520 species in this family, assigned to 14 genera. Diseases associated with this family include: bright yellow mosaic, yellow mosaic, yellow mottle, leaf curling, stunting, streaks, reduced yields. They have single-stranded circular DNA genomes encoding genes that diverge in both directions from a virion strand origin of replication. According to the Baltimore classification they are considered class II viruses. It is the largest known family of single stranded DNA viruses.
