Abstract
A severe new disease was observed in field-grown chickpea (Cicer ariet inum L.) plants in Brasilia-DF, central Brazil. Symptoms were mainly g eneral chlorosis accompanied by necrosis of the new growth and plant s tunting, but pods were symptomless. Host range studies, serology, part icle morphology, and cytopathology showed that tomato-spotted wilt tos povirus (TSWV) was the cause of the disease. This is apparently the fi rst report of a chickpea disease caused by natural infection of a tosp ovirus.
