TL;DR
Scientists found a rice virus in Argentina that was previously only known in Asia.
Contribution
This is the first report of rice necrosis mosaic virus outside of Asia.
Findings
Rice necrosis mosaic virus was identified in Argentina using metagenomics.
RT-PCR and RNA sequencing confirmed the virus's presence and genome.
This expands the known geographic range of the virus.
Abstract
While rice necrosis mosaic virus (RNMV) has only been described in Asia, we identified this virus on a rice plant from Argentina using a viral metagenomic approach. We further confirmed this result by RT-PCR and small-RNA Illumina sequencing to obtain the near-complete genome and to confirm actual infection by RNMV.
