“…Based on differences in complete genome sequences and phylogenetic analysis, ten PPV strains (D, M, C, EA, Rec, W, T, An, CR, CV) are recognized to date [ 2 , 4 , 5 ]. They may differ in antigenic and epidemiological properties, geographical distribution, pathogenicity, and host preference, although clear links between such features and molecular affiliation is not evident for each strain [ 6 ]. Under natural conditions, PPV-C, -CR, and -CV were only found on sour ( Prunus cerasus ) and sweet ( P. avium ) cherries and considered the cherry-adapted strains.…”
