| Abstract: | Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) are major biotic constraints to several cultivated and wild plants. These viruses belong to the genus tospovirus and begomovirus, respectively, TSWV is about 80-110 nm wide while TYLCV is about 20 x 30 nm in size. Both viruses are difficult to control due to numerous host plants and activities of insect vectors. Incidences and yield losses are usually high. Economic and sustainable management strategies rely on the reduction of inoculum sources, limiting transmission and use of host plant resistance. This paper reviews the current research status on the two viruses. Future research areas are also suggested. |
