“…Non-cultivated species of the families Asteraceae, Caparaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Labiatae, Malvaceae, Solanaceae and Sterculiaceae have been reported as hosts of many begomoviruses in Brazil and in several other countries in the Americas (Frischmuth et al, 1997;Roye et al, 1997;Faria and Maxwell, 1999;Fernandes et al, 1999;Idris et al, 2003;Jovel et al, 2004;Assunção et al, 2006;Amarakoon et al, 2008;Castillo-Urquiza et al, 2008;Barbosa et al, 2009;Silva et al, 2011;Silva et al, 2012;Tavares et al, 2012;Barreto et al, 2013). There is evidence that some of these begomoviruses from noncultivated hosts can be transmitted to cultivated species by the insect vector and by grafting (Arnaud et al, 2007;Castillo-Urquiza et al, 2007;Cotrim et al, 2007;Silva et al, 2010;Barreto et al, 2013;Rocha et al, 2013;Ramos-Sobrinho et al, 2014), highlighting the need to investigate these plants as reservoirs of viral diversity and as a source of new viruses which may cause diseases in crops.…”
