Excerpt
Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV, genus
Potyvirus, family
Potyviridae) causes significant yield losses in papaya and in some cucurbits throughout tropical and subtropical regions [
7]. Based on its host specificity, PRSV is classified into two biotypes. Type W is known to infect only cucurbits, whereas type P infects both papaya and cucurbits. The first PRSV genome completely sequenced and characterized was the Hawaiian isolate, PRSV-H [
11]. The complete sequences of a number of PRSV isolates have since been determined [
