Abstract

This is the first report of yambean mosaic virus and lettuce chlorosis virus in Australia. Both viruses were initially identified co-infecting the Fabaceae weed, Calopogonium mucunoides collected from Umagico in far north Queensland. Full coding sequences of both viruses were obtained with high throughput sequencing and confirmed with RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing. Lettuce chlorosis virus has subsequently been confirmed in several other species collected from far north Queensland and may become a new emerging threat to agronomical crops in Australia.
