Abstract excerpt
Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is a widely distributed potyvirus that causes mosaic disease in sugarcane, maize, sorghum, canna, and other monocot species worldwide. This study used 139 SCMV full-length genome sequences to analyze the phylogenetic relatedness of geographically distinct isolates. The phylogenetic analysis revealed four major groups of SCMV isolates that relate to their primary host. The geographic...
