An abstract in on online conference (Rodriguez-Grados et al., 2024) reports its presence on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). As the title of the abstract mention 'Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus' and the text mentions "Tomato Brown Rough Fruit Virus', there is some doubts on the identity of the virus of concern.
