Abstract

Geminiviruses are a group of plant viruses that cause severe diseases in many economically important crops worldwide, leading to devastating losses to agricultural production. Here we summarize the occurrence and distribution of geminiviruses in China, which provides valuable information for further epidemiological studies and supports the development of effective disease management strategies.
