Molecular analysis of Greek isolates of cucumber mosaic virus from vegetables shows a low prevalence of satellite RNAs and suggests the presence of host-associated virus strains.

Abstract excerpt

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a generalist pathogen that infects many economically important crops in Greece. The present study was designed to evaluate the genetic variability of Greek CMV isolates in combination with their satellite RNAs (satRNAs). To achieve this goal, 77 CMV isolates were collected from symptomatic Greek vegetables, mainly tomatoes and cucurbits, alongside their neighboring crops, during a...
