xtracted and the presence of ToLCNDV was investigated.
The analysis of the ToLCNDV sequences showed a low level of genetic variability between the two pepper isolates from Lazio and Campania regions, while a high genetic similarity was recorded between the zucchini isolate and both the pepper isolates from Campania and Lazio.
The characterized isolates showed a high sequence homology also with both the DNA-A from a melon isolate and DNA-B from a zucchini isolate of the ToLCNDV-ES genotype. Hig
