Abstract

Tospoviruses, including tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), infect over 550 plant species worldwide. In the commercially grown tomato (Lycopersicon 1 esculentum) TSWV decreases fruit yields and quality in up to 80-90% of the crop in South Africa2 with similar losses in Hawaii3 and other areas around the world.
