n the recent decade, a new outbreak of old and new
tobamovirus occurred worldwide. The disease caused
by the
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus
(CGMMV) in
cucurbits melon watermelon and cucumber reported in
Israel, North-Europe, Canada, USA, Australia and the Far-
east. Recently, the
tobamovirus Tomato mottle mosaic
virus
(ToMMV) was discovered in tomato grown in Central
America. In the Middle East; in Jordan and Israel, a new
Tobamovirus isolate infects tomato plants harboring
Tm-2
2
resistance genes putatively named tomato brown rugose
fruit virus (TBRFV). The epidemiology and strategies for the
tobamoviruses management were studied and developed in
our national initiative project for CGMMV coordinated by our
lab. Growers in large-scale fields adopted the outcome of this
extensive study. The experience with CGMMV management
was rapidly applied also for the new tobamovirus disease
management in tomatoes grown trellised in protected
structures (greenhouses, walk-in tunnels etc.).
