Complete Genomic Sequence of the Potyvirus Mashua Virus Y, Obtained from a 33-Year-Old Mashua (Tropaeaolum tuberosum) Sample.

ABSTRACT

We present the complete genomic sequence of a new potyvirus we tentatively call Mashua virus Y (MasVY), first isolated in 1984 from a plant of the Andean tuber crop mashua (Tropaeolum tuberosum, family Tropaeolaceae). There was a 70% nucleotide identity between MasVY and a genomic sequence of Verbena virus Y.
