The complete genome of a Sweet potato vein clearing virus (SPVCV) isolate infecting a quarantined sweet potato accession from Fiji was determined. Sequence comparisons revealed the highest nucleotide sequence identity of 94.6% with that of the SPVCV type species, an isolate from the Dominican Republic. The virus was mechanically transmitted to Nicotiana bigelovii plants.
