The citation for this ICTV Report chapter is the summary published as Breitbart et al., (2017):
ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Circoviridae, Journal of General Virology, 98: 1997–1998.
The monopartite genome of grabloviruses is about 3.2 kb, significantly longer than those of other monopartite geminiviruses, which range from 2.7 to 3.0 kb. Its genomic organization is unlike that of other geminiviruses, with virion and complementary sense ORFs that have no homologues in members of the other genera in the family.
A summary of this ICTV Report chapter will be published as an ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile article in the Journal of General Virology, and should be cited when referencing this online chapter as follows:
