Dear all I have some question about how to write virus name on paper how to underline on the name or noneed to underline
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus 1
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus 2 which number is betterThank you

thank you
in case of writing on the paper by hand . I can not write italic, what should I do about underline

Thank you very much. It make me clear.
