Abstract
Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) (genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) was first isolated in Europe during the 1970s and in the United States in 1981. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of ZYMV isolate BL-67, isolated from pumpkin in Oklahoma during the 2016 growing season.
Highlights
Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) was first isolated in Europe during the 1970s and in the United States in 1981
During a survey in the 2016 growing season, leaf samples from plants showing virus-like symptoms were collected from pumpkin fields in Blaine County, Oklahoma
Among the several dot-immunobinding assay (DIBA)-positive samples, an isolate named BL-67 was used for molecular characterization of ZYMV
Summary
Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) (genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) was first isolated in Europe during the 1970s and in the United States in 1981. ZYMV is transmitted in a nonpersistent manner by more than 26 aphid vectors [3, 4, 6] and by seeds [7, 8]. ZYMV was first described in the United States from squash in 1981 [9]. Simmons et al [10] sequenced the complete genome of a single field isolate of ZYMV from wild gourd
