The epidemic of Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus (CpCDV) is of great concern for about few decades on different crops. Analysis of different sequences isolated from various places of the world showed huge diversity of this Mastrevirus. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that four sequences from CpCDV (KC172669, KC172673, KC172666, KC172672) are ancestors and others are descendants of this.These four sequences evolved and different strains and variants came into being. Results indicate that CpCDV is a highly virulent and could be the most devastating for chickpea, lentil and other crops.
