During a survey in a tomato field in Luziânia (Goiás State, Brazil), a single plant with mottling, chlorotic spots, and leaf distortion was found. A new bipartite begomovirus sequence was identified using nanopore sequence technology and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The highest nucleotide sequence identity match of the DNA-A component (2596 bases) was 81.64% with tomato golden leaf deformation virus (HM357456). Due to the current species demarcation criterion of 91% nucleotide sequence identity for DNA-A, we propose this virus to be a new member of the genus Begomovirus, named "tomato mottle leaf distortion virus".

在 Luziânia（巴西戈亚斯州）的番茄田中进行的一项调查中，发现了一株带有斑驳、褪绿斑点和叶片变形的单株植物。使用纳米孔序列技术鉴定了一个新的二分贝戈莫病毒序列，并通过 Sanger 测序进行了确认。DNA-A组分（2596个碱基）与番茄金叶变形病毒（HM357456）的最高核苷酸序列同一性匹配率为81.64%。由于目前DNA-A 91% 核苷酸序列同一性的物种划分标准，我们建议该病毒为Begomovirus属的新成员，命名为“番茄斑驳叶畸变病毒”。
