  abstract = {{R}ice yellow mottle virus ({RYMV}) has persisted as a major biotic constraint to rice production in {A}frica. {H}owever, no data on {RYMV} epidemics were available in {G}hana, although it is an intensive rice-producing country. {S}urveys were performed from 2010 to 2020 in eleven rice-growing regions of {G}hana. {S}ymptom observations and serological detections confirmed that {RYMV} is circulating in most of these regions. {C}oat protein gene and complete genome sequencings revealed that {RYMV} in {G}hana almost exclusively belongs to the strain {S}2, one of the strains covering the largest area in {W}est {A}frica. {W}e also detected the presence of the {S}1ca strain which is being reported for the first time outside its area of origin. {T}hese results suggested a complex epidemiological history of {RYMV} in {G}hana and a recent expansion of {S}1ca to {W}est {A}frica. {P}hylogeographic analyses reconstructed at least five independent {RYMV} introductions in {G}hana for the last 40 years, probably due to rice cultivation intensification in {W}est {A}frica leading to a better circulation of {RYMV}. {I}n addition to identifying some routes of {RYMV} dispersion in {G}hana, this study contributes to the epidemiological surveillance of {RYMV} and helps to design disease management strategies, especially through breeding for rice disease resistance.},
