First report of Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus affecting chilli pepper in Pakistan

Management of Chilli Leaf Curl Virus Disease in the Coastal Zone of Odisha through Integrated Approach

“…).The chilli leaf curl virus (ChiLCV) disease on chilli was first reported in Pakistan by Shih et al, (2003) and in India by Senanayake et al, (2006) and crop loss has been estimated up to 80% in some parts of India (Nigam et al, 2015). Leaf curl or yellowing symptoms, typical of those caused by Begomovirus infection, cotton leaf curl Multan virus (CLCuMV) by Hussain et al, (2004) and Pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus (PepYLCIV) (Tsai et al,2006) have been associated with chilli leaf curl in Pakistan and Indonesia respectively. In India, tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV) was recently shown to be associated with chilli leaf curl disease occurring in Lucknow (Khan et al, 2006).Exclusive reliance on insecticides as a control strategy against these biotic stresses has resulted in several undesirable effects like pesticide pollution, resurgence of secondary pests, insecticide resistance, elimination of beneficial fauna and different human health hazards.…”

Molecular Evidence for Occurrence of Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus in Ash Gourd (Benincasa hispida) Germplasm Showing a Severe Yellow Stunt Disease in India

“…ToLCNDV is known to infect tomato in India since nearly two decades, but during the last one decade, its host range has increased enormously to various crops such as potato [21], papaya [12], eggplant [11] okra [23] and several cucurbitaceous vegetables like bottle gourd, bitter gourd, cucumber, ivy gourd, long melon, pumpkin, ridge gourd and watermelon in northern India and chayote in north-western India [7,16,17,20]. In Pakistan, besides tomato, ToLCNDV was also reported on crops like chilli [5], bitter gourd [18], and on weed Eclipta prostrata [3]. In Thailand, ToLCNDV has been reported to infect bottle gourd, cucumber and muskmelon [6].…”

The Nuclear Shuttle Protein ofTomato Leaf Curl New Delhi VirusIs a Pathogenicity Determinant

“…Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV) is an Old World begomovirus that induces leaf curling and yellowing in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and has also been detected on cucurbits, chilies, and potato on the Indian subcontinent (16,20,21,25,36). ToLCNDV is a bipartite virus that requires DNA B for symptom development, and the coat protein is dispensable for systemic infection and symptom development (25).…”
