Abstract
The family Geminiviridae comprises seven genera differentiated by genome organization, sequence similarity, and insect vector.Capulavirus, an eighth genus, has been proposed to accommodate two newly discovered highly divergent geminiviruses that presently have no known vector. Alfalfa leaf curl virus, identified here as a third capulavirus, is shown to be transmitted by Aphis craccivora.This is the first report of an aphid-transmitted geminivirus.
