It was found in a P. penetrans population collected from soil samples in Beltsville, Maryland, USA. In this study, the distribution of the RLNV1 in 31 geographically distinct P. penetrans populations obtained from different crops was examined. The results demonstrate that RLNV1 is widespread in North American populations of P. penetrans and exhibits low genetic variability in the helicase and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase regions of the genome.application/pdfenPublic DomainDistributionPicorna-like virusPratylenchidaeVariabilityArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.21307/jofnem-2020-0455232421266
