Abstract excerpt
Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), a member of the genus Potexvirus, was first described in South America on pepino (Solanum muricatum A.). Only in recent years, it was reported to infect greenhouse-grown tomatoes. Genome nucleotide sequences from several European isolates showed extensive sequence identity (>99%). Recent genome nucleotide sequences from two US isolates (US1 and US2) however showed much greater...
