Tomato mild mottle virus(TOMMOV)
Vectors
Important note on vectors:
Information on vectors and their associated pathogens is a new feature of the database (April 2023). Data will gradually be entered by the EPPO Secretariat and will focus on regulated (quarantine) pests.

* Abraham A, Menzel W, Vetten HJ, Winter S (2012) Analysis of the tomato mild mottle virus genome indicates that it is the most divergent member of the genus Ipomovirus (family Potyviridae). Archives of Virology 157(2), 353-357. ------- ToMMV isolates from Yemen and Ethiopia were transmitted very erratically by B. tabaci (and not by Myzus persicae). * Dombrovsky A, Sapkota R, Lachman O, Pearlsman M & Antignus Y (2013) A new aubergine disease caused by a whitefly-borne strain of Tomato mild mottle virus (TomMMoV).
