New isolates of the Bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV) were identified in Bambusa funghomii bamboo in Vietnam. Sequence analyses revealed that the Vietnam isolates are distinct from all known BaMV strains, sharing the highest sequence identities (about 77%) with the Yoshi isolates reported in California, US...
