Mosaic symptoms on leaves and fruits of pepper plants were observed in greenhouses in the Garabulli Agricultural project. A virus isolate was obtained from diseased pepper leaves. It was mechanically transmitted to 35 out of 48 plant species or cultivars representing seven plant families. It has a TIP between 92 and 93 C, DEP between 10** (-6) and 10** (-7) and LIV of 315 days. It is immunogenic and serologically related to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) from the American type of culture collection, and to an Italian (TMV).
