Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus — Tomato

Symptoms

Young leaves of mildly infected transplants develop bronze or purplish-brown discoloration, followed by numerous small, dark spots. Bronzing may spread over large areas of the leaf surface. Affected leaf areas may roll inward and subsequently die. Severely infected transplants remain stunted. Shiny, dark-brown streaks develop on stems and petioles. Growing tips may die back. Fruits develop spots approximately 1 cm in diameter, with slightly raised, circular markings. Ripe fruits may become distorted and develop alternating red and yellow bands. Severe infection may cause extensive necrosis and plant death.
