摘要

Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) is one of the most significant viral pathogens affecting global potato production. However, the evolutionary history and dispersal patterns of the virus remain poorly understood. In this study, we reconstructed the phylogeographic history of PMTV using Bayesian phylogeographic inference based on the nucleotide sequences of coat protein gene from viral isolates collected in Asia, Europe, North America and South America. Our Bayesian phylogeographic analyses indicated that the virus likely originated in South America and identified multiple migration pathways between Europe and other regions, suggesting that Europe has served as a major hub for PMTV dissemination. These findings provide valuable insight into the phylogeographic history of PMTV and contribute to a broader understanding of its epidemiology.
