Abstract

The genome of Diabrotica undecimpunctata virus 2 (DuV2), a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus identified from the southern corn root- worm transcriptome, comprises 5,313 nucleotides, including a short poly(A) tail. The two open reading frames encode a nonstructural polyprotein (p156) and a putative capsid protein (p25).
