Tomato ringspot virus - TomRSV
2008
Khristova, D.
TomRSV is originated from America where the nematode Xiphinema americanum is naturaly spread. TomRSV has been added to the EPPO A2 list and is considered as a quarantine pest. TomRSV presents a significant risk to grapevine and Prunus sp. in the EPPO region and EU. Although it has been recorded in the EPPO region, it is generally thought that these records are associated with imported material and that TomRSV has probably not established, at least in Western Europe. The few European records are almost all in herbaceous ornamentals which are relatively short lived. Further, in the absence of the vector Xiphinema americanum, the possibilities for establishment are limited. The records of TomRSV in Europe exist and there is no certain basis for asserting that the virus is now absent. TomRSV is a quarantine pest with high economic impact. Long-range dispersal in trade is in host plants and parts of plants, including seeds, accompanying soil may harbour infective seeds and the nematode vector. The propability of TomRSV establishment in Bulgaria is low, because of absence of the vector. In the absence of the Xiphinema americanum, the possibilities for establishment are limited.
