Abstract.
Between 1998 and 2002, we conducted PCR-based plant virus disease surveys throughout Vietnam, on banana, papaya, and several cucurbit crops, namely pumpkin, cucumber, gourds and loofa. Banana bunchy top virus in banana and Papaya ringspot virus in both papaya and cucurbits were widespread. Squash leaf curl virus-Vietnam and Cucumber mosaic virus were also widespread, predominantly infecting pumpkin and cucumber respectively.
