Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus: an emerging plant begomovirus threatening cucurbit production.

ABSTRACT: Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV), a bipartite begomovirus, was first reported to infect tomato and has recently spread rapidly as an emerging disease to Cucurbitaceae crops. To date, the virus has been reported to infect more than 11 cucurbit crops, in 16 countries and regions, causing severe yield losses. In autumn 2022, ToLCNDV was first isolated from cucurbit plants in Southeastern coastal areas of China. Phylogenetic analysis established that these isolates belong to the Asian ToLCNDV clade, and shared high nucleotide identity and closest genetic relationship with the DNA-A sequence from the Chinese tomato-infecting ToLCNDV isolate (Accession no. OP356207) and the tomato New Delhi ToLCNDV-Severe isolate (Accession no. HM159454). In this review, we summarize the occurre
