Close genetic similarity was found between CMV-ANK and a tomato isolate, suggesting potential cross-species transfer.
Systemic infection in multiple crops demonstrates the broad host range of CMV-ANK, particularly affecting okra and chenopodium.
Serological confirmation using rt-pcr and TAS-ELISA produced distinct 1200 bp amplicon specific for the coat protein gene.
Findings indicate an 83.33% seed transmission rate, raising concerns for controlling the spread of CMV in cucumber.
