Genome sequence of a novel phlebovirus associated with lettuce big vein disease infecting lettuce (Lactuca spp.).

Lettuce big vein disease is a disease complex involving at least two RNA viruses, both transmitted by the soilborne fungus Olpidium virulentus. Here, we present the genomic sequence of a novel unrelated third negative-stranded RNA virus, belonging to the family Phenuiviridae, recovered from infected lettuce plants.

Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Genotype of Pepper Mild Mottle Virus Infecting Pepper in Chile.

The complete genome sequence of a Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) found on pepper seeds produced in Chile in 2019 was determined using Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Sanger sequencing. The low nucleotide sequence identities (between 89% and 91%) to known PMMoV isolates suggested that this isolate belongs to a novel genotype.
