"Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) Taxonomic position Genus: Orthotospovirus Family: Tospoviridae TSWV infection in plants of Rosa spp. was reported from Iran (Moini and Izadpanah 2000; Parrella et al. 2003; Ghotbi et al. 2005; Ghotbi and Shahraeen 2012). The virus-infected rose plants exhibit symptoms of necrotic spots and marginal scald of leaves. The virus is transmitted by thrips vectors in a persistent-propagative manner, and also by mechanical sap-inoculation to a large number of herbaceous hosts. The virus is transmissible by grafting but not by contact between plants. For more details of TSWV, refer to Solanum lycopersicum."
