Abstract
Tospovirus isolates from tomato and watermelon in Taiwan and from pean ut in India reacted neither with antibodies to tomato spotted wilt vir us (TSWV), nor with antibodies to impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) , in ELISA and in electroblot immunoassays. Additionally, all three to spovirus isolates had an N protein with a molecular weight of 32 kDa a s compared to 29 kDa for the N protein to TSWV and INSV. The observed physicochemical and serological differences suggest the generation of a new, third species in the genus tospovirus for which we propose the name groundnut bud necrosis virus.
