      abstract = {In Queensland, a total of 11 viruses have been recorded  from tomato and 5 of these have also been recorded on  pepper. By far the most widespread and important of these  is potato virus Y (PVY), with recorded incidences of up to  100% in both crops. Control is difficult due to the  abundance of alternate hosts and high vector populations,  and genetic resistance is the most promising strategy.  Three strains of PVY can be defined by their differential  reaction on the various resistance sources available in  pepper and several of these genotypes are resistant to all  known PVY strains from Queensland. A source of resistance  to PVY has been identified in Lycopersicon hirsutum PI  247087. The resistance is governed by a major recessive  gene with probably some minor gene influeces and it is  effective against all Queensland isolates of PVY tested so  far. Low heritability is hampering the incorporation of  this resistance into a commercial tomato cultivar. Cucumber  mosaic, tomato mosaic and tomato yellow top viruses are at  times also limiting factors in tomato production. Tomato  mosaic virus is largely controlled by acid extraction of  locally produced seed and trisodium phosphate treatment of  imported seed. Recent isolated outbreaks have been  virtually eliminated by crop hygiene and the use of  trisodium phosphate as a disinfectant. Effective control  measures are lacking for cucumber mosaic and tomato yellow  top virus. The importance of alternative crop and weed  hosts in the epidemiology of these two viruses is currently  being investigated. [AS]},
