The complete genome sequence of a novel polerovirus-associated RNA infecting pepper in South Africa was determined. The nucleotide sequence identity of 78.3% with closely related species suggested that this associated RNA was novel, and the name pepper vein yellows virus-associated RNA is proposed for this RNA fragment.
