PERIODIC, RATHER THAN CONTINUAL ACQUISITION OF A NEW TOMATO VIRUS BY ITS VECTOR, THE TOBACCO WHITEFLY (BEMISIA TABACI GENNADIUS)1

Abstract: The tomato yellow leaf curl disease is caused by a hitherto undescribed virus (TYLCV), which attacks tomato and Datura stramonium plants in Israel. The virus, transmitted by the tobacco whitefly, is persistent in its vector, but not for life. A virus‐acquisition access lasting 24 hours renders the whitefly inoculative for an average period of 10–12 days. During that period the vector is unable to compensate for its steadily decreasing inoculativity by re‐acquiring the virus from a source plant, until it first … Show more

“…Virus infections result in a general decrease in plant growth and reduced yields, and the production is almost entirely lost if plants are infected during early growth. Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is the natural vector of begomoviruses (Cohen and Harpaz, 1964), and the B and Q biotypes of B. tabaci, in particular, have played an important role in their spread.…”

“…Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) was first discovered in Israel in the late 1930s and later described as a whitefly-transmitted virus in 1964 (Cohen and Harpaz, 1964). TYLCV from Israel (Navot et al, 1991) and TYLCV from Sardinia (Kheyr-Pour et al, 1991) were then described as strains of a whitefly-transmitted virus of the genus Begomovirus in the family Geminiviridae (Brown et al, 2012).…”

“…TYLCV was first described in the Middle East (Israel and Jordan) (Cohen and Harpaz, 1964), emerged as a serious pest of tomato from the 1970s (Hanssen et al, 2010) and was then introduced in the Mediterranean Basin, the Far East, the Caribbean, South America, North America and Australia. It is currently reported in all continents (Figure 1).…”
