Fig 1

The disease was first reported in Pakistan and later appeared in India and China. Introduction of Cotton leaf curl Multan virus to the Philippines is a recent occurence and marks the capability of the disease to spread in very far off places from the center of diversity. The major areas in which CLCuMuV was found are shown with red circles. CLCuGeV is spreading worldwide through infection of cotton and okra plants. Currently, it is found in 11 countries (marked with pink colored circles) and is spreading from North Africa to rest of the world.
