Abstract

Banana mild mosaic virus (BanMMV) is a previously undescribed filamentous virus infecting Musa spp. The complete genome has been sequenced from PCR clones and consists of 7352 nucleotides, encoding five open reading frames (ORFs) of 205, 25.5, 12.4, 8.0 and 26.8 kDa, respectively. BanMMV was most closely related to fovea- and carlaviruses, based on phylogenetic analysis using a portion of the viral replicase. Analysis of other parts of the genome revealed similarities with fovea-, carla- and potexviruses, but the virus was not clearly aligned to any previously recognised genus.
