Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) is a major limitation to cotton production on the Indian subcontinent. A survey for viruses causing CLCuD was conducted during the 2009 and 2010 cropping seasons in the northwestern Indian cotton-growing belt in the states of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. Partial sequences of 258 and full-length sequences of 22 virus genomes were determined. This study shows that the resistance-breaking cotton leaf curl Burewala virus (CLCuBuV) is now the dominant virus in many fields. The spread and establishment of the mutant CLCuBuV in northwestern India, the variation in its genomic sequence, its virulence and infectivity, and the implications for cotton breeding are discussed.
棉花曲叶病（CLCuD）是印度次大陆棉花生产的主要限制因素。在 2009 年和 2010 年的种植季节，对旁遮普邦、哈里亚纳邦和拉贾斯坦邦的印度西北部棉花种植带造成 CLCuD 的病毒进行了调查。测定了 258 个部分序列和 22 个病毒基因组的全长序列。本研究表明，抗裂叶卷曲的 Burewala 病毒（CLCuBuV）现在是许多地区的主要病毒。讨论了突变型 CLCuBuV 在印度西北部的传播和建立、其基因组序列的变异、毒力和感染力，以及对棉花育种的影响。
