Badnaviruses (Family: Caulimoviridae; Genus: Badnavirus) are non-enveloped bacilliform
DNA viruses with a monopartite genome containing about 7.2 to 9.2 kb of dsDNA with three to
seven open reading frames. They are transmitted by mealybugs and a few species by aphids in a
semi-persistent manner. They are one of the most important plant virus groups and have emerged
as serious pathogens affecting the cultivation of several horticultural crops in the tropics, especially
banana, black pepper, cocoa, citrus, sugarcane, taro, and yam. Some badnaviruses are also known
as endogenous viruses integrated into their host genomes and a few such endogenous viruses can
be awakened, e.g., through abiotic stress, giving rise to infective episomal forms. The presence
of endogenous badnaviruses poses a new challenge for the fool-proof diagnosis, taxonomy, and
management of the diseases. The present review aims to highlight emerging disease problems, virus
characteristics, transmission, and diagnosis of badnaviruses.
