A newly emerging alphasatellite affects banana bunchy top virus replication, transcription, siRNA production and transmission by aphids.
Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) is a six-component ssDNA virus (genus Babuvirus, family Nanoviridae) transmitted by aphids, infecting monocots (mainly species in the family Musaceae) and likely originating from South-East Asia where it is frequently associated with self-replicating alphasatellites.
