A potyvirus was isolated from a naturally infected squash plant in Algeria in 1986. Biological and serological data have revealed that the virus, initially described as H4, is related to other cucurbit-infecting potyviruses, particularly Moroccan watermelon mosaic virus (MWMV) and Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV). To establish unequivocally the taxonomic status of H4, its full-length genome sequence was established. H4 shared identities of 70% and 65% at the amino acid level with MWMV and PRSV, respectively, indicating that H4 is a distinct species of the PRSV cluster. The name Algerian watermelon mosaic virus (AWMV) is proposed for this new potyvirus species.
1986年，从阿尔及利亚一株自然感染的南瓜植株中分离出一种马铃薯Y病毒。生物学和血清学数据显示，该病毒最初被描述为H4，与其他感染葫芦科植物的马铃薯Y病毒有关，特别是摩洛哥西瓜花叶病毒（MWMV）和番木瓜环斑病毒（PRSV）。为明确确定H4的分类地位，测定了其全长基因组序列。H4在氨基酸水平上与MWMV和PRSV的同源性分别为70%和65%，这表明H4是PRSV簇中的一个独特物种。建议将这种新的马铃薯Y病毒物种命名为阿尔及利亚西瓜花叶病毒（AWMV）。
