“…Candela, which resemble the unique symptoms described above for the 'Odelia' variety. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Jordanian isolate originated from a branch leading to TMV clade [19]. The high sequence identity between the Israeli isolate and the Jordanian tomato brown rugose fruit virus as well as the phylogenetic analysis (Fig 5) confirms that they originated from the same ancestral tobamovirus.…”

“…However, concern for the effectiveness of Tm-2 2 resistance rises since new tobamoviruses infecting tomatoes were identified. In Mexico, a tobamovirus named Tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) [18] and in Jordan a tobamovirus putatively named tomato brown rugose fruit virus (TBRFV-Jo)[19]. ToMMV causes tissue necrosis of the leaves of tomato seedlings and mosaic and leaf distortion of mature plants.…”

An outbreak of a new disease infecting tomatoes occurred in October-November 2014 at the Ohad village in Southern Israel. Symptomatic plants showed a mosaic pattern on leaves accompanied occasionally by narrowing of leaves and yellow spotted fruit. The disease spread mechanically and rapidly reminiscent of tobamovirus infection. Epidemiological studies showed the spread of the disease in various growing areas, in the South and towards the Southeast and Northern parts of the country within a year. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis showed a single rod-like form characteristic to the Tobamovirus genus. We confirmed Koch’s postulates for the disease followed by partial host range determination and revealed that tomato cultivars certified to harbor the Tm-22 resistance gene are susceptible to the new viral disease. We further characterized the viral source of the disease using a range of antisera for serological detection and analyzed various virus genera and families for cross-reactivity with the virus. In addition, next generation sequencing of total small RNA was performed on two cultivars grown in two different locations. In samples collected from commercial cultivars across Israel, we found a single virus that caused the disease. The complete genome sequence of the new Israeli tobamovirus showed high sequence identity to the Jordanian isolate of tomato brown rugose fruit virus.

“…It is also thought that ToBRFV may have emerged as a result of recombination. This is supported to some extent by an earlier analysis of the ToBRFV genome in which seven detection algorithms were used to identify a recombination event in a 314‐nucleotide segment of the Rep gene that identified tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) as the potential minor parent and the strain Ohio V of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as the major parent (Salem et al , ). There may also be common links of tomato varieties grown, seed source, alternate host(s) or cultivation system used, although these may vary in different locations.…”

Tomato brown rugose fruit disease: current distribution, knowledge and future prospects

et al. 2019

Tomato is the most economically important fruit/vegetable crop grown worldwide. However, viral diseases remain an important factor limiting its productivity, with estimated quantitative and qualitative yield losses in tomato crops often reaching up to 100%. Many viruses infecting tomato have been reported, while new viral diseases have also emerged. The climatic changes the world is experiencing can be a contributing factor to the successful spread of newly emerging viruses, as well as the establishment of disease in areas that were previously either unfavourable or where the disease was absent. Because antiviral products are not available, strategies to mitigate viral diseases rely on genetic resistance/tolerance to infection, control of vectors, improvement in crop hygiene, roguing of infected plants and seed certification. Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is an emerging viral threat to tomato productivity and is currently spreading into new areas, which is of great concern to the growing global production in the absence of mitigation measures. This review presents the current knowledge about ToBRFV and future prospects for an improved understanding of the virus, which will be needed to support effective control and mitigation of the impact it is likely to cause.

Metagenomic analysis of plant viruses in tropical fresh and wastewater

Due to considerable losses in the agricultural sector, phytopathogenic viruses are of significant economic importance. Several phytopathogenic viruses have been detected in water bodies. These can be transmitted to their hosts through water contact. However, relatively few studies concentrate on the presence and impact of plant‐infecting viruses in water environments. In the present study, we used a metagenomic approach to determine viral phytopathogen diversity in wastewater, freshwater, and sludge from the southernmost tropical region in Mexico. We detected 15 different phytopathogenic viruses that belonged to the family Virgaviridae, genus Tobamovirus. Pepper mild mottle virus, tomato brown rugose fruit virus, and tropical soda apple mosaic virus had the highest number of reads. Phylogenetic analysis of the coat protein (CP) amino acid sequence revealed a close relationship between the solanaceous plant‐infecting viruses and the reference sequences found in GenBank. On the other hand, the CP amino acid sequence of Fabaceae and Cucurbitaceae‐infecting viruses did not show such a close relationship when compared with GenBank reference sequences. These results suggested that detected viral sequences could originate from new strains or species of local viruses likely from the consumption of locally cultivated produce, whereas those infecting solanaceous plants might come from consumption of processed or imported food to Mexico. The prevalence of a high diversity of plant viruses in wastewater and rivers and their potential infectivity raise concerns about the use of contaminated freshwater and wastewater in agriculture in Mexico.
