These pathogens encapsidate circular,single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs)of 2.5-3.0 kb that replicate through double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)intermediates.Members of the genus Begomovirus,which comprises by far the largest number of species in the family,are transmitted by whiteflies and have genomes consisting of one or two DNAs.展开更多
