Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
During spring and summer of 2013, a survey was carried out to investigate the presence of Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV, genus Tospovirus, family Bunyaviridae) in 389 tobacco samples, 72 eggplant samples, and weed samples (35 Sonchus oleraceus, 33 Xanthium strumarium, 130 Amaranthus retroflexus, 36 Portulaca oleracea)from grower fields, representing Latakia province. Samples were tested by Tissue Blot Immunobinding Assay TBIA using a commercial kit (Plantprint, Spain). Results of TBIA of tested samples showed the natural infection of TSWV in Latakia by 31,94% on eggplant, 7,97% on tobacco, 68,57% on S.oleraceus, 87,88% on X.strumarium, 78,46% on A.retroflexus, 13,89% on P.oleracea. The first record of TSWV in Syria were reported on Tomato (Ismaeil et al., 2012). To our knowledge, this is the first record of TSWV on tobacco, eggplant and weeds in Syria.
