Host List of Plants Susceptible to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV)

Abstract

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV)-infected plant hosts in vegetable-growing regions play an important role in the epidemiology of the disease. Susceptible hosts are commonly found growing along field borders and among crops of Hawaii's major vegetable-growing regions. Elimination of these TSWV reservoirs should be helpful in reducing disease losses. This paper presents an up-to-date listing of TSWV-susceptible plant species.
