Passionflower is cultivated throughout the Brazilian territory, and the predominant disease in almost all producing regions is called passionfruit woodiness, caused by the potyvirus cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV). Its occurrence reduces the lifespan of the plants of 36 months to approximately 18 months. The spread of the virus in the field occurs mainly by aphids, being the virus…
The present project proposes to continue epidemiological studies, at a regional level, to identify amplifier hosts responsible for frequent epidemics of diseases caused by tomato severe rugose virus (ToSRV) and tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) in solanaceous crops in different producing regions of the country. Basic studies of the molecular characteristics of begomovirus and crinivirus, as w…
This research project comprehends seven modules. Its joint analysis will allow a better understanding of the structure and behavior of diseases caused by begomovirus and crinivirus in Sotanaceae in Brazil, a sine qua non condition for the design of a more rational system of integrated management. The modules have the following titles and objectives: (1) Molecular biology - detection and c…
The Passifloraceae family is widely distributed in the tropics, with more than 580 species. Among the edible species of the genus Passiflora, are P. edulis f. flavicarpa and P. alata as the most cultivated in Brazil. The country is the world's leading producer of yellow passion fruit and recently, the specie P. alata (sweet passion fruit) has gained attention in the market for fresh fruit…

Tomato Severe Rugose Virus (ToSRV) is the main begomovirus that affects tomato crops in Brazil. ToSRV is transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 in a circulative persistent mode. When in high incidence, the losses caused by the begomovirus can reach 100%. The frequent use of insecticides has become the main management approach to control the vector populations present in the fiel…
Among the several pathogens that affect the tomato crop (Solanum lycopersicum) the Begomovirus Tomato Severe Rugose Virus (ToSRV) is considered an important infectious agent that affects the production of this crop in Brazil. ToSRV is the causal agent of the golden mosaic of the tomato, transmitted by the Aleirodideo (whitefly) Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 in a persistent-circulatory manner. Desp…
The Solanaceae family is one of the most important in agriculture and includes cultivated species such as tomato, sweet pepper, eggplant, which can be affected by the Begomovirus tomato severe rugose virus (ToSRV). ToSRV is transmitted by Bemisia tabaci which consists of a complex of cryptic species of which Middle East-Asia Minor 1, MEAM1 (also known as biotype B) and Mediterranean, MED,…

Begomovirus disease affects several crops with economic importance in Brazil, especially tomato crop. In 2008, a new disease, crinivirus disease (yellowing of tomato), was reported in tomato plants in Sumaré-SP and rapidly the causal agent, Tomato chlorosis virus, was disseminated to other tomato production regions in the country. Crinivirus disease also affects pepper and potato crops. C…
Tomato crops are susceptible to several species of virus belonging to the genus Begomovirus. Tomato Severe Rugose Virus (ToSRV) is one of the most important species in Brazil because it predominates in tomato main producing regions of this country and causes economic damages to production. ToSRV is transmitted in a circulative persistent manner by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci MEAM1. In add…

Tomato is considered one of the most important crops in Brazil, both from an economic and social perspective. Several diseases affect this important crop, with the most difficult being by viruses transmitted by Bemisia tabaci MEAM1, mainly due to the high degree of complexity and limited options for management. The crinivirus tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) and the begomovirus tomato severe…
