“…The genome sequence of CSSTBV was the first CSSD-badnavirus to be determined and characterized [30]. Recently, additional full-length CSSD-badnaviral genomes have been determined from symptomatic cacao plants in West Africa [10,11,14,15,21,34], with ten cacao-infecting badnavirus species being presently recognized by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV; https://talk.ictvonline.org/taxonomy/): CBSLV, CaMMV, CYVBV, Cacao swollen shoot CD virus (CSSCDV), Cacao swollen shoot CE virus (CSSCEV; also known as Cacao red vein virus), Cacao swollen shoot Ghana M virus (CSSGMV; also known as Cacao red vein banding virus), Cacao swollen shoot Ghana N virus (CSSGNV), Cacao swollen shoot Ghana Q virus (CSSGQV), Cacao swollen shoot Togo A virus (CSSTAV), and CSSTBV (previously named as Cacao swollen shoot virus).…”
