The natural occurrence of a Begomovirus associated with severe mosaic disease on Chaya (Cnidoscolus acontifolia) has been detected by PCR from Madhya Pradesh, India. The Begomovirus showed highest nucleotide sequence identities and distinct phylogenetic relationships of coat protein gene (CP) with several isolates of Sri Lankan Cassava Mosaic Virus (SrLCMV). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of SrLCMV infecting Cnidoscolus acontifolia, and it is a new host of Begomovirus from India.
