Because of limited free diffusion in the cytoplasm, viruses must use active transport mechanisms to move intracellularly. Nevertheless, how the plant single-stranded DNA begomoviruses hijack the host intracytoplasmic transport machinery to move from the nucleus to the plasmodesmata remains enigmatic...
