Kennedya yellow mosaic tymovirus (KYMV) occurs along the eastern Australian seaboard in the perennial legumes Desmodium triflorum and D. scorpiurus in the north, and Kennedya rubicunda in the south. The genetic variation of more than 100 isolates of KYMV, most of them from the north, has been studied using an RNA hybrid mismatch polymorphism (RHMP) method. The method clearly separated the isolates into two groups; all the northern Desmodium isolates formed one group and all the Kennedya isolates from the south another. These sub-populations were themselves variable and the Desmodium population alone was more variable than that of the related turnip yellow mosaic tymovirus in the Kosciusko alpine area.
肯尼迪亚黄花叶芜菁黄花叶病毒（KYMV）出现在澳大利亚东海岸沿线，在北部多年生豆科植物三花金钱草和蝎子草中存在，在南部则存在于深红肯尼迪亚中。利用RNA杂交错配多态性（RHMP）方法研究了100多个KYMV分离株的遗传变异，其中大多数分离株来自北部。该方法清楚地将分离株分为两组；所有北部金钱草分离株形成一组，所有来自南部的肯尼迪亚分离株形成另一组。这些亚群体本身具有变异性，仅金钱草群体的变异性就比科修斯科山区相关的芜菁黄花叶芜菁黄花叶病毒的变异性更大。
