Description Chrysanthemums worldwide suffer from a high
incidence of infection with chrysanthemum virus B (CVB),
a member of the genus Carlavirus, family Betaflexiviridae.
Three major lineages or strains of this virus have been found
in India, but none have been characterized beyond the
genetic variation they display in their coat protein genes.
Here, we describe the analysis of four near-complete genome
sequences (from the three lineages) representing the genetic
diversity of these strains. Ranging in size from 8815 to 8855
nucleotides (excluding the polyA tail), these four isolates
have a genome organization very similar to that of the
recently reported Japanese isolate of CVB, with which they
share between 70 and 73% genome-wide sequence identity.
We present further evidence that recombination may feature
quite prominently in the evolution of CVB.
