Zucchini tigre mosaic virus (ZTMV) is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Potyvirus. In this study, a full-length infectious cDNA clone of a ZTMV strain infecting snake gourd (Trichosanthes cucumerina var. anguina L.) was constructed and shown to infect snake gourd, chieh-qua, zucchini, ridge gourd, and bitter melon. The complete genome sequence of ZTMV-FS7 (PP291701) showed the highest nucleotide sequence similarity to ZTMV-TW (86.2% identity). Genetic diversity analysis of 12 ZTMV isolates showed that the P1 gene had the highest variability. Selection pressure analysis indicated that all of the ZTMV genes were under negative selection. However, some sites, particularly within the P1 gene, were under positive selection.
