Abstract

We present here the first complete Bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) genomic sequence isolated from virus-infected common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in East Timor, and compare it with six complete BMCNV genomes from the Netherlands, and one each from the United States, Tanzania, and an unspecified country. It most resembled the Netherlands strain NL-8 genome.

Grants and funding

The Cooperative Research Centre for Plant Biosecurity and University of Western Australia (UWA) provided a scholarship and operating funds to Solomon Maina. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation also provided additional operating funds.
