Abstract

In a survey of viruses in vegetable crops in Western Samoa, squash mosaic comovirus was recorded for the first time infecting Citrullus lanatus, Cucurbita maxima and Trichosanthes cucumerina var. anguina. Other new host records for Western Samoa were papaya ringspot potyvirus infecting C. maxima and Cucumis sativus, zucchini yellow mosaic potyvirus infecting these two hosts and also Momordica charantia and Capsicum annuum, and cucumber mosaic cucumovirus infecting Benincasa hispida and Psophocarpus tetragonolobus.
