“…The identities between these viruses and the dendrogram clustering of these viruses together (Fig. 3) clearly indicates the close relationship among these viruses, as was also reported earlier (Adams et al, 2005;Reyes et al, 2009;Farreyrol et al, 2006). DsMV isolates from the three edible aroids under study differed from two other DsMV isolates (AY994104, AY994105) and with one VMV (AJ616719) from GenBank, in lacking 36 nucleotides at the 5'-end region of the CP and 54 nucleotides (140-194) compared to 9 DsMV isolates (AM910398, DMU00122, AF169832, EF199550, DQ925464, AM910407, AM910401, AM994104, and AY994105) and one VMV isolate (AJ616719) (data not shown).…”
