Tomato leaf curl Karnataka virus

Family   : Geminiviridae
Genus    : Begomovirus
Acronym  : ToLCKV

Introduction

Tomato leaf curl Karnataka virus (ToLCKV) is a begomovirus that contain DNA-A and the associated satellite beta DNA components. The associated betasatellite shared a high nucleotide identity with Potato apical leaf curl betasatellite (PoLCB]) and Papaya leaf curl betasatellite (PaLCuB) associated with tomato leaf curl disease from India.

Geographical Distribution

Karnataka, Punjab, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh

Particle Morphology

Geminate particles

Transmission Method

Transmitted through whitefly vector, Bemisia tabaci in persistent manner.

Detection

ELISA, PCR and rolling circle amplification
