Host-list of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Imaptiens Necrotic Spot Virus














Welcome to the Horticulture Department at Clemson University

Hosts Of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus And
Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus

Compiled by Simon W. Scott

This compilation of species susceptible to tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) is the result of a search of CAB abstracts from December, 1995-1974. The search turned up more than 400 references to these two viruses. Those not dealing with host range were discarded and the information from others was compiled. The references contributing to this list are cited at the end of the document. The references by Cho et al ., 1987, Stobbs et al ., 1992 contributed most of the information. The citations in Cho et al ., are from reports dating back to the 1940s and the definition of susceptibility will have been arrived at by host range studies and serological studies. The work of Stobbs et al ., and Hausbeck et al ., is a combination of ELISA and some host range studies. The Stobbs reference also includes data on feeding by thrips on hosts.
