- Abstract
Summary. Two previous analyses of the diversity of begomovirus-associated DNA β satellites focused predominantly on molecules originating from the Indian sub-continent and southern China. They showed the satellites to group according to the hosts from which they were isolated, either malvaceous or non-malvaceous plants, and then to form sub-groups based upon geographic origin and host. In this study we analysed the diversity of DNA β satellites in east and south east Asia. Here the satellites group by geographic location and are considerably more diverse than previously indicated. This probably reflects the limited movement of begomovirus/DNA β complexes in this region and their subsequent diversification from a common ancestor to a variety of hosts.
