Complete Genomic Sequence of the Potyvirus Mashua Virus Y , Obtained from a 33-Year-Old Mashua ( Tropaeaolum tuberosum ) Sample

Abstract

We present the complete genomic sequence of a new potyvirus we tentatively call Mashua virus Y (MasVY), first isolated in 1984 from a plant of the Andean tuber crop mashua ( Tropaeolum tuberosum , family Tropaeolaceae ). There was a 70% nucleotide identity between MasVY and a genomic sequence of Verbena virus Y .
