ABSTRACT
IMPORTANCE A novel botybirnavirus, infecting the tea plant pathogen Didymella theifolia and tentatively named Didymella theifolia botybirnavirus 1 (DtBRV1), together with an additional double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), was characterized. DtBRV1 comprises two dsRNAs (1 and 2) encapsidated in isometric virions, while dsRNA3 is a satellite. The satellite represents a unique specimen since it contains a duplicated region and has high similarity to the two botybirnavirus dsRNAs, supporting the notion that it most likely originated from a deficient genomic component. The biological characteristics of DtBRV1 were further determined. With their unique molecular traits, DtBRV1 and its related dsRNA expand our understanding of virus diversity, taxonomy, and evolution.
