Complete genome sequence of chicharrita del maíz iflavirus 1, a virus previously identified from transcriptomic data of the corn leafhopper ( <i>Dalbulus maidis</i> )
We report a complete genome of chicharrita del maiz iflavirus 1 from the United States, determined by RNAseq, PCR, and RACE in RNA extracted from <i>Dalbulus maidis</i> (corn leafhopper). The genome encodes a 3,306-amino-acid polyprotein with conserved capsid and replication domains, expanding knowledge of iflavirus diversity in hemipteran vectors.
