Abstract. The coat protein gene and most of the 3' non translated region of ten isolates of papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) were sequenced. Although there was up to 13% variation when these isolates were compared with published sequences of PRSV, less then 5% difference was observed among the coat proteins and the 3'non translated region (NTR) of Thai isolates indicating that all isolates have the same origin. Two isolates, propagated under laboratory conditions, showed greater homology with isolates from China and Taiwan than with the original one from Thailand.
