Abstract
- This document is an editorial from the journal "Viruses" discussing tobamoviruses, which are plant-infecting viruses with an ancient lineage dating back to the Cretaceous period. Tobamoviruses are known for their resilience and ability to remain viable for long periods of time. Some tobamoviruses pose a threat to crops, and efforts are being made to understand their transmission and develop biosecurity measures. The editorial highlights several research papers on topics such as the host range of cucumber green mottle mosaic virus, the transmission of tomato brown rugose fruit virus, and the effectiveness of biosecurity measures in Australia. Additionally, the editorial mentions a study on using tobamovirus particles for biomedical applications. The author concludes by acknowledging that more tobamoviruses will likely be discovered in the future, presenting both challenges and opportunities for scientists. [Extracted from the article]
