Abstract
Symptoms of severe leaf curling, typical of begomovirus infection, were observed on a plant of Brugmansia arborea grown in lawns of Quaid-i-Azam university Islamabad, Pakistan. A begomovirus and its associated betasatellite were amplified and sequenced from infected plants. Nucleotide sequence showed that a monopartite begomovirus named Chilli leaf curl virus (ChLCV) and Chilli leaf curl betasatellite (ChLCB) are associated with the disease and it shared highest sequence identity 99% and 91% respectively with previously reported clones. Our data adds to recent reports that show an expansion of the host range of begomovirus-betasatellite complexes in the Old World.
