Tomato black ring virus (TBRV) infects a wide range of economically important plant species worldwide. In the present study we developed a locked nucleic acid (LNA) real-time RT-PCR assay for accurate detection of genetically diverse TBRV isolates collected from different hosts. The assay based on the LNA probe has a wide detection range, high sensitivity, stability and amplification efficiency. The assay amplified all tested TBRV isolates, but no signal was observed for the RNA from other nepoviruses and healthy plant species. Under optimum reaction conditions, the detection limit was estimated around 17 copies of the TBRV target region in total RNA. Real-time RT-PCR with the LNA probe described in this paper will serve as a valuable tool for robust, sensitive and reliable detection of TBRV isolates.

Viral satellite RNAs (satRNAs) are small subviral particles that are associated with the genomic RNA of a helper virus (HV). Their replication, encapsidation, and movement depend on the HV. In this paper, we performed a global analysis of the satRNAs associated with different isolates of tomato black ring virus (TBRV).

Tomato-infecting viruses have been considered as a serious threat to tomato crops in Poland. Therefore, during 2014-2021, 234 tomato samples delivered directly by greenhouse tomato growers to Plant Disease Clinic of IPP-NRI were tested. Eight virus species: pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), tomato yellow ring orthotospovirus (TYRV), tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV), potato virus Y (PVY), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), tomato black ring virus (TBRV) and tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) were detected in single or mixed infection in 89 samples.

The complete genome sequence of a novel iflavirus isolated from the gregarious and koinobiont endoparasitoid Tetrastichus brontispae, tentatively named "Tetrastichus brontispae RNA virus 3" (TbRV-3), was determined by total RNA and Sanger sequencing. The complete genome is 9998 nucleotides in length, 8934 nt of which encodes a putative polyprotein of 2978 amino acids. TbRV-3 was found to have a similar genome organization and to contain conserved domains and motifs found in other iflaviruses, with some variations.
