  • First Online:

Abstract

The genus Ipomovirus is a small group of whitefly-transmitted viruses within the family Potyviridae, the largest group of RNA plant viruses, which are mostly aphid transmitted (Berger et al. 2005). Under current taxonomic guidelines there are three accepted members [Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV), Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Sweet potato mild mottle virus (SPMMV)] and one tentative member [Sweet potato yellow dwarf virus (SPYDV)] in the genus Ipomovirus (Berger et al. 2005; Colinet et al. 1996, 1998; Janssen et al. 2005; Lecoq et al. 2000).
