Abstract excerpt
Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is a member of the genus Potyvirus that is becoming a serious pathogen of pumpkin and other cucurbits in Trinidad and Tobago and the entire Caribbean region. In this study, four ZYMV isolates infecting pumpkin in Trinidad and Tobago were characterized by complete genome sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis showed 5.9-6.0% nt and 7.7-7.9% aa sequence divergence in comparison to the...
