  abstract = {{E}pidemics of rice yellow mottle virus ({RYMV}) have developed recently in eastern {U}ganda, close to {L}ake {V}ictoria in {E}ast {A}frica. {U}nexpectedly, all isolates from the affected area belonged to a single strain (named {S}4ug), a strain that is different from the {S}4lv strain that has been prevalent in the {L}ake {V}ictoria basin for the past five decades. {I}nterestingly, the {S}4ug strain is most closely related at the genomic level (except {ORF}1) to the strain present in {M}adagascar ({S}4mg), 2000 km away. {T}he minor parent of the {S}4mg recombinant strain could not be detected. {M}olecular clock dating analysis indicated that the singular sequence of events - that associated the emergence of a new strain ({S}4ug), a modular recombination between closely related strains ({S}4mg and {S}4ug) and a long distance transmission ({S}4mg) - occurred recently, within the past few decades. {T}his finding is at variance with the process of gradual strain dispersal and diversification over two centuries throughout {A}frica that was previously established.},
