Sažetak
Sequence data of the coat protein gene of CTV were retrieved from the GenBank or from tested infected tissues and compiled. A comparison with a compartable set of sequences from worldwide isolates showed a very simmilar value for the nucleotide diversity and a very similar genetic structure in which the same seven groups of variants are conspicuous. A geographic speciation is not apparent and, probably, differences in the distribution of CTV groups are a result of trade. In countries that usually import propagating material from Spain, the group M predominates while group 3b predominates in countries that import material from Israel.
