Steve HTML +More www.ExoticRainforest.com Oh, Steve - this is why many arboretums do not allow public access. It is also called "Tomato Mosaic Virus" (ToMV).. There is much good published info on it. If in doubt with regard to a plant having an infection - please take it to the lab within your County Agent's office. Unless it is something exotic they will diagnose for free in most cases. This is an invaluable service.

From: Don Martinson <llmen at wi.rr.com> on 2010.10.14 at 22:25:04(21545) In regard to susceptible species, here is a quote from the University of Minnesota Extension: http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/DG1168.html In Minnesota, common plant hosts for the mosaic virus are tomato, pepper, petunia, snapdragon, delphinium, and marigold. Tobacco mosaic virus also has been reported to a lesser extent in muskmelon, cucumber, squash, spinach, celosia, impatiens, ground cherry, phlox, zinnia, certain types of ivy, plantain, night shade, and jimson weed. Although tobacco mosaic virus may infect many other types of plants, it generally is restricted to plants that are grown in seedbeds and transplanted or plants that are handled frequently.

From: "Weaver, Bill" <bill.weaver at hp.com> on 2010.10.14 at 23:04:24(21547) Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) and Cymbidium Mosaic Virus (CyMV) are big problems for orchid growers. I have even seen symptoms show up in lilies potted in used orchid pots. There are home test kits called "ImmunoStrips" available through a company called Agdia. https://orders.agdia.com/inventory.asp?CatId={5A66C559-B3A6-42CC-BC08-487688816607} The virus can be detected, but not cured.
