To identify viruses associated with virus-like symptoms in melon plants in Indonesia.
High-throughput sequencing and reverse transcription PCR were performed on symptomatic melon leaf samples.
Total RNA was extracted and sequenced on an Illumina platform, generating contigs for analysis.
BLAST analyses identified several virus-associated large contigs, confirming the presence of multiple viruses.
CYSDV was identified with 99% nucleotide identity with a Chinese isolate, while CmEV shared 96% identity with a US isolate.
Sample IND-ME11 was positive for both CYSDV and CmEV, showing interveinal yellowing and chlorosis.
This is the first report of CYSDV and CmEV detected in melon in Indonesia, indicating a need for large-scale surveys.
