Detection of sweet potato feathery mottle virus by ELISA using healthy sapabsorbed antiserum.

Detection of sweet potato virus C, sweet potato virus 2 and sweet potato feathery mottle virus in Portugal.

Field sweet potato plants showing virus-like symptoms, as stunting, leaf distortion, mosaic and chlorosis, were collected in southwest Portugal and tested for the presence of four potyviruses, sweet potato virus C (SPVC), sweet potato virus 2 (SPV2), sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV), sweet potato virus G (SPVG), and the crinivirus sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV). DsRNA frac...

Complete Genome Sequences of Sweet potato feathery mottle virus and Sweet potato virus G from Brazil

In Brazil, Potyvirus species in sweet potatoes have been detected mostly by serology. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two Potyvirus species, Sweet potato feathery mottle virus strain (SPFMV-UNB-01) and Sweet potato virus G strain (SPVG-UNB-01).

Properties of Strains of Sweet potato feathery mottle virus and Two Newly Recognized Potyviruses Infecting Sweet Potato in the United States

Sweet potato has been identified as a crop that has great potential for alleviating food security concerns (28). However, because it is vegetatively propagated, it is prone to accumulate viruses and other pathogens. Sweet potato viruses are difficult to transmit mechanically, they occur in mixed infections, and their host range often is restricted to the family Convolvulaceae (24). These factor...

Virus Incidence of Sweet Potato in Korea from 2011 to 2014

A nationwide survey was performed to investigate the current incidence of viral diseases in Korean sweet potatoes for germplasm and growing fields from 2011 to 2014. A total of 83.8% of the germplasm in Korea was infected with viruses in 2011. Commercial cultivars that were used to supply growing fields were infected at a rate of 62.1% in 2012. Among surveyed viruses, the incidence of five Poty...
