The first epidemic of cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) in early 1990’s in the Indian subcontinent was associated with several distinct begomoviruses along with a disease-specific betasatellite. Resistant cotton varieties were introduced in late 1990’s but soon resistance was broken and was associated with a single recombinant begomovirus named Burewala strain of  Cotton leaf curl Kokhran virus  that lacks a full complement of a gene encoding a transcription activator protein (TrAP). In order to understand the ongoing changes in CLCuD complex in Pakistan, CLCuD affected plants from cotton fields at Vehari were collected. Illumina sequencing was used to assess the diversity of CLCuD complex. At least three distinct begomoviruses characterized from the first epidemic;  Cotton leaf curl Multan virus ,  Cotton leaf curl Kokhran virus  and  Cotton leaf curl Alabad virus , several distinct species of alphasatellites and cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite were found associated with CLCuD. These viruses were also cloned and sequenced through Sanger sequencing to confirm the identity of the begomoviruses and that all clones possessed a full complement of the TrAP gene. A new strain of betasatellite was identified here and named CLCuMuB Veh . The implications of these findings in efforts to control CLCuD are discussed.

Multiple begomoviruses found associated with cotton leaf curl disease in Pakistan in early 1990 are back in cultivated cotton
