Highlights • Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) were the only MLN causing viruses detected.• MCMV and SCMV are widely distributed in all maize growing regions in Kenya.• SCMV was more diverse and MCMV was largely conserved with little genetic diversity.• MCMV alone can lead to severe MLN development.• Genetic viral recombination signals detected only in SCMV viral genome samples.
