Abstract
Cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV) is an important plant pathogen that causes severe and detrimental effects on cherry and other fruit plants. Despite recent progress in plant pathology, molecular biology, and population genetics of CLRV, the spatiotemporal spread of this virus remains poorly studied. In this study, we employed a Bayesian phylodynamics framework to investigate the spatial diffusion patterns of CLRV by analyzing the coat protein gene sequences of 81 viral isolates collected from five different countries. Consistent with the trade of cherry, our Bayesian phylodynamic analyses pointed to viral origins in New Zealand and identified multiple migration pathways between Germany and other countries, suggesting that Germany has played an important role in CLRV transmission. The results of our study will be useful in developing sustainable management strategies to control this pathogen.
