Virus diseases severely reduce the productivity and quality of vegetable crops in the Mediterranean Basin. Due to the diversity of viruses affecting each crop, a global control approach is required for each cropping system. The use of healthy seeds in a clean environment should limit early infections which often are the most damaging. Adapted dultural practices may contribute to prevent, delay or slow down epidemics. Breeding for resistance is a major component of this control strategy, but depends on the presence of effective resistance genes in availble cultivars. Integrated management of virus diseases affecting cucurbit, solanaceaous or garlic crops is reviewed
