ClutalX alignment of deduced amino acid sequences of HdIV and selected ichnoviruses rep genes. The first 2 letters indicate ichnovirus species (Cs: Campoletis sonorensis; Hd: Hyposoter didymator; Hf: Hyposoter fugitivus; Tr: Tranosema rostrale), followed by the name of the segment containing the corresponding gene (except for Hd ichnovirus) then the rep gene number. Arrow-heads indicate beginning and ending of the conserved repeated element motif as defined by Theilmann & Summers [14]. Different shades of grey indicate conserved residues. Consensus sequence represents conserved residues: in capital letters: residues with >80% identity; p: polar residue; h: hydrophobic residue; l: aliphatic residue; +: positive residue; b: big residue; s: small residue.
