This is the first description of the complete genome sequence of a new monopartite begomovirus isolated from tomato with symptoms of tomato (yellow) leaf curl disease collected in northwestern Namibia, which we provisionally name “tomato leaf curl Kunene virus”. The DNA-A-like nucleotide sequence shares the highest nucleotide sequence identity (82.8%) with tobacco leaf curl Zimbabwe virus (ToLCZWV). Phylogenetic analysis confirmed its affiliation with Old World monopartite begomoviruses. The discovery of a new begomovirus in a vegetable plant in Namibia highlights the importance of maintaining epidemiological surveillance in southern Africa.

这是从纳米比亚西北部采集的带有番茄（黄色）叶片卷曲病症状的番茄中分离出的一种新的单倍体begomovirus的完整基因组序列的首次描述，我们将其临时命名为“番茄叶片卷曲库内氏病毒”。DNA-A样核苷酸序列与烟叶卷曲津巴布韦病毒（ToLCZWV）具有最高的核苷酸序列同一性（82.8％）。系统发育分析证实其与旧世界的单倍体begomoviruses的隶属关系。在纳米比亚的一种蔬菜植物中发现了一种新的begomovirus，突出了维持南部非洲流行病学监测的重要性。
