Is this Cucumber Mosiac Virus on my Tomato Plants?

HI, I ordered a few tomatoes plants that did not make it through the shipping process too well. To make a long story short, the plants lost most of their leaves due to shipping. Instead of just tossing them, the main stems were ok, and even though they look not too good, I thought I would see if they would shoot out some new leaves, which they did start to do. However, I noticed that the leaves look funny, like skinny and curly, I thought that this maybe because the plant went through a lot to survive, so I did not pay it any mind until now. I was looking through pics of tomato diseases for another reason, when I stumbled on a picture of a tomato plant that looked like mine.

So I need to know if my plants have this disease or is it just from the stress of losing their leaves and having to grow new ones back from only a main stem?

If this is the virus, is it contagious to all my good healthy plants that I have already planted with them? ANd if so, will my other plants most likely catch it?

Here I thought I was doing a nice thing, nursing back some pretty damaged plants, but if I find out that I nursed these plants back only to get my healthy ones sick, I will be so upset!Especially because that means it came from the place I bought them from. I put some white paper in the backround while taking the pics in hopes that it brings out the detail a little better.

Thank you for your help!

Oh, I tried to upload the pics here and I kept getting rejected so I jsut had to create an account to photobucket, so please see links for my pics. Sorry about that
