Thanks Roitelet.
Although its called "Tomato leaf curl", its not just on tomato plants............

[b]On which plants[/b]
ToLCNDV was initially found on Solanum lycopersicum (tomato), and then on other Solanaceae such as Solanum melongena (aubergine), chili pepper (Capsicum spp.) and Solanum tuberosum (potato). ToLCNDV was also found to infect many Cucurbitaceae, such as: Benincasa hispida (wax gourd), Citrullus lanatus (watermelon), Cucumis melo (melon), Cucumis melo var. flexuosus (snake melon), Cucumis sativus (cucumber), Cucurbita moschata (musky gourd), Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin), Cucurbita pepo var. giromontiina (courgette), Lagenaria siceraria (bottle gourd), Luffa cylindrica (sponge gourd), Momordica charantia (bitter gourd)In Spain, the virus was detected in melon (Cucurbita melo, C. melo var. flexuosus), pumpkin (C. pepo) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus) crops, but apparently not in tomato. In Tunisia, ToLCNDV was also found only in cucurbit crops. In the literature, there are a few records on weeds (e.g. Eclipta prostrata – Asteraceae, Physalis minima – Solanaceae), other crops such as Hibiscus cannabinus (kenaf – Malvaceae) and Carica papaya (papaya - Caricaceae), and ornamentals (e.g. Chrysanthemum indicum – Asteraceae, Crossandra infundibuliformis – Acanthaceae).
