The Israel strain was isolated in 1988 and was the first one to be sequenced in 1991. Sequence comparisons of different geographical isolates revealed that TYLCV is actually a complex of begomovirus species that affect tomato.\u00a0 Subsequently, begomoviruses affecting tomato were separated into several groups and named accordingly.\u00a0 <em>Tomato yellow leaf curl virus<\/em> is the name of the virus isolated in Israel (CABI, 2014; Nakhla &amp; Maxwell, 1998; Fauquet <em>et al<\/em>., 2000). Seven different species belonging to the <em>Tomato yellow leaf curl virus<\/em> complex have been identified.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tomato yellow leaf curl virus<\/em> was identified in 2007 for the first time from infected tomato plants grown in a greenhouse in Brawley, Imperial County, California (Rojas <em>et al.,<\/em> 2007).\u00a0 Since then the pathogen has been detected in commercial fields, nurseries and private residences within Imperial and Riverside counties.<\/p>\n<p>Hosts: <em>Solanum lycopersicum <\/em>(tomato) is the major host.\u00a0 Other hosts include diagnostic experimental plant species belonging to several families: <em>Datura stramonium<\/em>, <em>Lycopersicon esculentum, Nicotiana glutinosa, N. benthamiana, Phaseolus vulgaris,<\/em> <em>Petunia hybrida<\/em>, and <em>Eustoma grandiflorum<\/em> (lisianthus).\u00a0\u00a0 Other cultivated minor hosts include <em>abelmoschus esculentus <\/em>(okra), <em>C. annum<\/em> (bell pepper), <em>C. frutescens<\/em> (cayenne\/chili pepper), <em>Nicotiana tabacum<\/em> (tobacco), <em>Physalis philadelphica <\/em>(tomatillo)<em>, <\/em>and<em> Vigna unguiculata<\/em> (cowpea). \u00a0Weeds and other wild hosts include <em>Acalypha australis, Artemisia annua, Ageratum conyzoides<\/em> (billy goat weed), <em>Convolvulus<\/em> (morning glory), <em>Chenopodium murale<\/em> (nettleleaf goosefoot), <em>Cuscuta europaea<\/em> (European dodder), <em>Datura stramonium<\/em> (jimsonweed), <em>Malva parviflora<\/em> (pink cheeseweed), <em>Moringa oleifera<\/em> (horse-radish tree), <em>Sida acuta<\/em> (sida), <em>Solanum elaegniflolium<\/em> (silverleaf nightshade) and <em>S. nigrum<\/em> (black nightshade) (CABI, 2014; VIDE, 1996; EPPO 2014).<\/p>\n<p>In a survey in Cyprus, Papayiannis <em>et al.,<\/em> (2011) found that 49 plant species were TYLCV hosts belonging to 15 families, namely, Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Compositae, Convolvulaceae, Cruciferae, Euphorbiaceae, Geraniaceae, Leguminosae, Malvaceae, Orobanchaceae, Plantaginaceae, Primulaceae, Solanaceae, Umbelliferae and Urticaceae.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms:\u00a0 The disease is easily identified when tomato are infected at seedling stage.<\/p>\n<p>Young leaves and shoots are severely stunted resulting in bushy and upright seedling growth.\u00a0 Leaves exhibit the most diagnostic symptoms of small leaves, upward and inward rolling of the margins, interveinal and marginal yellowing, distinct stunting and often a bushy appearance.\u00a0 Flowers either do not develop or fall off.\u00a0 When plants are infected early, they lose vigor and fruit production is reduced or stopped. When infected at a later stage of development, fruit already formed continue to develop more or less normally however, additional fruit are not produced.<\/p>\n<p>Leaf curl symptom is not limited to tomato but also produced in TYLCV-infected varieties of common bean and lisianthus (<em>Eustoma grandiflorum<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Most wild tomato species include members that are either immune or symptomless carriers of the virus. Certain weeds are also asymptomatic (<em>Malva parviflora<\/em>). It is not known how well whiteflies acquire virus from symptomless hosts (Gilbertson, 2008). Plants used to rear whiteflies are immune to the virus (CABI, 2014).<\/p>\n<p>Damage Potential:\u00a0 TYLCV is one of the most damaging pathogens of tomato and losses up to 100% in commercial fruit production in fields are not uncommon (UCIPM, 2008).\u00a0 Yield loss results in fewer numbers of fruit produced.\u00a0 Fruit present at time of infection remain on the plant but few will set more or less normally.\u00a0 It has been shown experimentally that the younger the plants are at the time of infection, the more severe is the reduction in fruit yield.\u00a0 Experimentally, compared to non-inoculated plants, 3-10 week old TYLCV inoculated tomato plants showed 63% reduction in number of fruit, while 15 week old plants did not show significant yield reduction (CABI, 2014).\u00a0 In the USA, mostly minor losses of less than 10% were noted in 1997-2000 due to aggressive actions taken by tomato growers.<\/p>\n<p>Severe losses in commercial bean production in Israel and southern Spain have been reported (Navot <em>et al.<\/em>, 1992; Navas-Castillo <em>et al.<\/em>, 1999).<\/p>\n<p>Disease Cycle and Transmission: TYLCV is transmitted by the whitefly vector, <em>Bemisia tabaci <\/em>in a persistent manner.\u00a0 The vector acquires the virus (acquisition access period) after feeding on an infected plant for 15-30 minutes, then there is a latent period of 18-24 hours within the insect after which the virus can be inoculated into a healthy plant during a feeding period of at least 15 minutes (inoculation access period) by the insect. A single white fly can inoculate more than one plant. \u00a0TYLCV is retained within the vector when the latter molts and is detected in every developmental stage of the vector.\u00a0 It does not multiply within the vector and is not passed on from generation to generation through the eggs of the vector, although research results may be controversial: \u00a0Ghanim <em>et al<\/em>. (1998) detected TYLCV in whitefly eggs that suggested transovarial passage (CABI, 2014; VIDE, 1996).\u00a0 Whiteflies remain viruliferous for approximately two weeks.\u00a0 Large populations of<em> B. tabaci<\/em> moving between crops can cause rapid spread and high levels of disease.<\/p>\n<p>The pathogen is spread over short distance by the white fly vector.\u00a0 TYLCV is also transmitted by grafting and poorly by mechanical inoculation, but it is not transmitted by contact between plants.\u00a0 Seed transmission has not been reported.\u00a0 Over long distances, TYLCV is spread mainly through the movement of infected plants.\u00a0 As symptoms can take up to 3 weeks to develop, symptomless infected plants can often go unnoticed.\u00a0 Hitch-hiking, virus-carrying whiteflies can also accompany tomato and other host plants moved over long distances as well as strong winds and storms.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Worldwide Distribution<\/strong><\/span>: \u00a0\u00a0TYLCV has been reported from several countries in Asia, Africa, North America (Mexico and USA), Central America and Caribbean, South America (Venezuela only), Europe, and Oceania (CABI, 2014, EPPO, 2014).<\/p>\n<p>In the USA, TYLCV is present in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Official Control<\/strong><\/span>:\u00a0 TYLCV is included on the Harmful Organism Lists of 49 countries in Asia, Europe, and South America, including Antigua and Barbuda Islands (PCIT, 2014). As a result of the estimated losses caused by TYLCV in 1999-2003, several countries in Australia and The European Union have established strict quarantine measures against the whitefly vector (CABI, 2014).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>California Distribution<\/strong><\/span>: Imperial and Riverside Counties.<\/p>\n<p>Major tomato-producing regions of California, including the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, do not promote the establishment of TYLCV.\u00a0 According to Gilbertson (2008), the vector is not found in those regions for two main reasons.\u00a0 First, the vector is intolerant of the region\u2019s cool winter temperatures.\u00a0 Second, the Central Valley has a natural tomato-free period from late November to early February during which period the amount of virus inoculum is significantly reduced until tomatoes are planted in late winter to early spring.\u00a0 So, even if TYLCV is able to overwinter during the tomato-free period, it would take a long time for viral inoculum to build up to damaging levels in the field.\u00a0 The virus is able to infect other host plants however, it builds up quickly on tomato.<\/p>\n<p>There have not been any establishments of any <em>Bemisia tabaci<\/em> haplotype overwintering populations north of Fresno County due to the cooler winter temperatures and lack of the right amount of degree days for development (<em>personal communication<\/em>: Dr. Raymond Gill, CDFA Entomologist, 2013).\u00a0 Nevertheless, it is not unusual for the whitefly vector species to be introduced into and possibly establish within contained controlled environments of nursery greenhouses in northern California regions (CDFA Pest Detection Records and <em>personal communication<\/em>: Dr. Gillian Watson, CDFA Entomologist).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>California Interceptions<\/strong><\/span>:\u00a0 There are no records of TYLCV detected in incoming plant shipments to California.<\/p>\n<p>The risk <em>Tomato yellow leaf curl virus<\/em> would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Consequences of Introduction:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>1) \u00a0Climate\/Host Interaction:<\/strong> Evaluate if the pest would have suitable hosts and climate to establish in California.
