Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation MWMV is reported for the first time infecting watermelon plants in Uganda.
- Observation Six viruses were identified by high-throughput sequencing in watermelon samples, including one novel virus known to infect prokaryotes.
- Observation The MWMV complete genome is 9,672 nt without the poly(A) tail.
- Observation MWMV tested positive in 13 of the 15 individual samples.
- Observation PABYV tested positive in 11 of the 15 individual samples.
- Observation Nine of the 15 samples were infected with both viruses.
- Intervention effect Mixed infections with both viruses resulted in more severe symptoms than single infections.
- Observation Singly infected watermelon samples generally exhibited mild leaf symptoms.
- Observation The other identified viruses are likely latent or asymptomatic in watermelon under the surveyed conditions.
- Observation Approximately 30–40% of plants in the affected fields exhibited virus-like symptoms.
- Observation One MWMV amplicon showed 97% sequence identity with the HTS genome isolates.
