...and now "flavi-like viruses" in plants! 😲

"More recently flavi-like divergent viruses have been identified in marine invertebrate and vertebrate hosts."

"The striking discovery of gentian Kobu-sho-associated virus (GKaV) expanded the host range of #flavivirus to plants, which was complemented by a recently reported flavi-like virus in carrot."
