The genetic diversity of sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV) was analyzed with 43 virus isolates from Réunion Island and 17 isolates from world-wide locations. We attempted to amplify by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), clone, and sequence four different fragments covering 72% of the genome of these virus isolates. The number of amplified isolates and useful sequence information varied...
