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.

Next-Generation Sequencing Reveals the First Complete Genome Sequence of Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus from Uganda.

We present here the first complete genome sequence of Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV) isolated from cowpea in Uganda and compare it with five CABMV complete genome sequences from Brazil (2), India (2), and Zimbabwe (1). It most resembled the genomes of two Brazilian isolates (MG-Avr and BR1) and one Indian isolate (RR3).
