Distribution details in Italy

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2022: Absent, unreliable record
Comments
EPPO Reporting Service (2021/238) : intercepted on seeds of Solanum lycopersicum from Italy to the UK.

EPPO (2022): ToMMV was detected by HTS on Cicer arietinum (Pirovano et al., 2015). This host record is considered uncertain, and therefore the presence in Italy as well. ToMMV has not been reported on other plants. In addition, ToMMV was recently reported using a proteomics approach in Sicilia on tomatoes bought on a market (Mammadova et al., 2021). However, this is not considered to be a finding of ToMMV because there was 100% identity to both ToMV and ToMMV capsid protein. Not detected during official surveys in 2020-2022 on tomato and pepper.
