Abstract
Sequences from the coat protein cistron of five ryegrass mosaic virus (RgMV ) isolates indicated the presence of two distinct strains in New Zealand. T he nucleotide differences between the strains, and their distribution, sugg ested that both strains were introduced recently, either as a mixed infecti on or as two independent introductions, The relationship between these New Zealand strains and other strains and isolates of RgMV, and their potential severity is discussed.
