Illumina Sequencing Reveals the First Near-Complete Genome Sequence of Ugandan Passiflora Virus.

Here, we present the first near-complete genome of Ugandan Passiflora virus (UPV) sequenced from a symptomatic sample of KH7 passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) variety. UPV had limited amino acid identity with other potyviruses known to cause passion fruit woodiness disease (PWD). The closest relationship (71.2% amino acid similarity) was with Bean common mosaic necrosis virus.
