First Report of Tomato infectious chlorosis virus in Spain

Disease Note First Report of Tomato Infectious Chlorosis Virus from Tomato in Apulia, Southern Italy

A severe disease of tomato was observed in 2010 in a greenhouse in the province of Lecce (Apulia, southern Italy). Plants showed interveinal yellowing and thickening of mature leaves and a bushy appearance of the new growth. Pale-yellow spots, which became sunken and necrotic, were scattered on the fruit surface. Leaf symptoms were reminiscent of those induced by Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) o...

The emergence of Q1 genotype of avian infectious bronchitis virus in Iran, 2019: the first report

Background: Avian infectious bronchitis (IB) is an infectious viral disease of chickens. The effective protection of chickens against many different infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) variants is not achieved unless the circulating genotypes in the region are identified and the cross-protection of the potential of vaccines in use is assessed. Aims:In a monitoring program of IBVs, a new genotype ...

Efficient Transmission and Propagation of Tomato Chlorosis Virus by Simple Single-Leaflet Grafting

Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV), a member of the genus Crinivirus, has caused an epidemic disease in tomato worldwide. ToCV is phloem-limited and transmitted by whiteflies in a semi-persistent manner, but not by mechanical inoculation. Experimental propagation of ToCV has been performed primarily by using whitefly-mediated inoculation. To develop a simple and convenient method for transmission of...
