Abstract

Abstract: Tomato spotted wilt tospovirus (TSWV) was transmitted to indicator plants by Thrips tabaci, and was detected even in single specimens collected from different plants from September until May in Hungary. Consequently, the specimens of the hibernating generation are able to harbour TSWV from autumn until spring, for 6 months. They could infect the young seedling in the forced beds, or in the field in May, and thereby they have a significant role in the TSWV epidemic in spring under Hungarian climatic conditions.
