Abstract
Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) was first observed in 2016 in the Middle East. It is a highly pathogenic and transmittable virus. ToBRFV has been found in a number of countries for the last several years on almost all the continents causing major concerns for growers of tomato and pepper. ToBRFV can remain viable for long periods in seeds, plants and their parts, on a range of surfaces: cardboard, plant trays, packaging, tools, clothing etc. Rapid spread of ToBRFV resulted in adding it to the Alert List of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and establishing various international research groups in order to develop detection and identification methods. Since the end of 2019, EU Commission has established emergency measures to prevent the introduction into, and the spread within the EU territory of Tomato brown rugose fruit virus.
