Abstract
Two potyviruses infecting cucurbits, first isolated in southern France and northern Italy and described as muskmelon yellow stunt virus and zucchini yellow mosaic virus, respectively, were compared serologically and were indistinguishable. In view of other similarities in host range, symptoms, aphid transmission and particle morphology, the 2 are considered a single virus for which retaining the name zucchini yellow mosaic virus is proposed.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
