Tomato leaf curl Bangalore virus

Family   : Geminiviridae
Genus    : Begomovirus
Acronym  : ToLCBV

Introduction

The disease characterized by leaf curling, vein clearing, reduction in leaf lamina, vein enation and, overall stunting of plants is caused by a collection different begomoviruses. There are seven monopartite and three bipartite begomoviruses that cause leaf curl disease in India, of which tomato leaf curl Bangalore virus is widely prevalent in the southern and southwestern parts of the country.
