A number of cucurbit-infecting tobamoviruses have been reported in the past but there is confusion about their identity and relationships. Cucumber viruses 3 (CV3) and 4 (CV4) were originally described in the United Kingdom whereas the watermelon (W) and cucumber (C) 'isolates' of cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) came from Japan. The results of serological studies and RNA-cDNA analyses have shown that CV3, CV4 and CGMMV-W are very closely related, whereas CGMMV-C is quite different. It is concluded that there are two distinct tobamoviruses that infect cucurbits; they are only very remotely related to each other and to a number of other tobamoviruses. It is suggested that the name CGMMV be retained to include the isolates or strains CV3, CV4 and CGMMV-W, and that a new name, kyuri green mottle mosaic virus (KGMMV), be given to CGMMV-C.
过去已报道了一些感染葫芦科植物的烟草花叶病毒，但它们的身份和相互关系存在混淆。黄瓜病毒3（CV3）和4（CV4）最初是在英国被描述的，而黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒（CGMMV）的西瓜（W）和黄瓜（C）“分离株”则来自日本。血清学研究和RNA - cDNA分析结果表明，CV3、CV4和CGMMV - W密切相关，而CGMMV - C则有很大不同。得出的结论是，有两种不同的感染葫芦科植物的烟草花叶病毒；它们彼此之间以及与其他一些烟草花叶病毒的关系非常疏远。建议保留CGMMV这个名称，以包括分离株或毒株CV3、CV4和CGMMV - W，并给CGMMV - C一个新名称，即黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒（KGMMV）。
