By the sampling on chickweed (Stellaria media) carried out from autumn till the end of spring, the occurrence of the larvae of 12 Thysanoptera species has been established under climatic conditions in Hungary. Only the larvae of T. atratus and T. tabaci were present in this period in relatively high number. Since chickweed is frequently infested by Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) the continuous presence of the larvae of T. tabaci in the whole period is a notable circumstance. This relationship is one of the significant ways of the survival of tomato spotted wilt virus which might be a source of new epidemics.
