In 2005, Eclipta prostrata plants exhibiting yellow vein symptoms were observed in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, China. A virus isolate G8 was cloned from a symptomatic plant. The complete nucleotide sequence of G8 DNA‐A was determined to be 2745 nucleotides, which had typical characteristics of Begomovirus genome organization. The comparison of complete nucleotide sequence of DNA‐A showed that isolate G8 shared the highest sequence identity with Alternanthera yellow vein virus (AlYVV) isolates G38 and Hn51 at 95.9% and 94.3%, respectively. These results show that G8 infecting E. prostrata in Guangdong is a strain of AlYVV.
