Abstract
Tospoviruses are among the most damaging plant viruses. A disease in tomato described as “spotted wilt” was observed in 1915 in Australia (Brittlebank, 1919). Its viral etiology was established fifteen years later (Samuel et al. 1930). TSWV (see Table 28.1 for the name of a virus species when a siglum is used) is now widely known as the causal agent of diseases in many crops and cultures. Diseases like dahlia oak leaf, cyclamen ringspot, tomato carcova, tobacco kromnek, pineapple yellow spot, pine apple side rot, tomato bronze leaf, Kat river disease, makhorka tip chlorosis and ‘vira cabeça’ are caused by TSWV. For years, TSWV was classified as the sole member of a monotypic virus group.
