Current management options for virus infection in Capsicum spp.Abstract:
Increasing outbreaks of virus species infecting pepper (Capsicum spp.) is a major problem for growers in Africa due to a combination of factors, including expansion of pepper cultivation, abundance of insect vectors and climate change. More than 45 viruses have been identified to infect pepper crops causing economic loss in terms of reduced quality and marketable yield, sometimes up to 100%. The Pepper veinal mottle virus (PVMV), Potato virus Y (PVY) and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) are endemic in many countries including Uganda, Mali, Cameroon, Morocco and Nigeria. Current management options for virus infection in Capsicum spp. is by the integration of several approaches. More importantly, eradication of infected plants, cultivation of disease resistant varieties, improved cultural practices and judicious use of insecticides especially when plants are young and easily colonized by vectors. In recent years, eco-friendly control measures are needful to reduce occurrence of virus diseases in Capsicum spp.read more

Detection and distribution of viruses infecting hot pepper (Capsicum spp.) in Rwanda
TL;DR: Sequence and phylogenetic analysis confirmed the presence of CMV, PeVYV, PVMV and TMV in the country and efforts towards the development of sustainable management for these viruses should be put in place to improve yields and quality of hot pepper.

Potato virus Y isolates infecting bell pepper from parts of Southern Africa display distinct recombination patterns
TL;DR: In this paper, the genome sequences recovered by de novo assembly of the generated reads were checked for recombination patterns before phylogenetic analyses, and three potato virus Y (PVY) isolates were found to have arisen from a single recombination event involving PVYO and PVYC strains.

TL;DR: In this paper , a simplified and robust multiplex PCR (mPCR) was proposed for the simultaneous detection of five RNA viruses, capsicum chlorosis orthotospovirus (CaCV), chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV), large cardamom chirke virus (LCCV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), and pepper mild mottles virus (PMMoV) infecting chilli.

TL;DR: This discussion paper proposes that any newly found isolates of PVY should be described within the context of the original strain groups based on the original methods of distinguishing strains, and sequence characterization of the complete genomes of isolates is highly recommended.
