Pepper mottle virus (PepMoV) is a plant pathogenic virus[1] in the genus Potyvirus and the virus family Potyviridae. Like other members of the Potyvirus genus, PepMV is a monopartite strand of positive-sense, single-stranded RNA surrounded by a capsid made for a single viral encoded protein. The virus is a filamentous particle that measures about 737 nm in length. Isolates of this virus has been completely sequenced and its RNA is 9640 nucleotides long.[2] This virus is transmitted by several species of aphids in a nonpersitant manner and by mechanical inoculation.[3]
