Is there a virus on tomatoes that makes them have wierd shaped skinnier than nornal leaves?

Varietal…narrow leaf tomatoes like Green Sausage aka Green Sleeves, Banana Legs, Stiped Roman, etc.

Chemical (2,4-D.) drift can make leaves narrow

Zinc deficiency in rare cases

Cucumber Mosaic Virus

Well it must be tobacco mosic-but I don't know how I got it. It seemed like the last tray of 120 of seedlings got it out of around 1500. I don't smoke and was the only one around them>

I've grown seed in the past from Lucky Cross that had a genetic variant that caused very wierd scraggly twisted leaves. The plants never survived beyone the 2 leaf stage. It was easy to tell that it was genetic because 1/4 of the seedlings had the problem.
