Interpretive Summary: Tomato chlorotic spot virus (TCSV) has recently emerged in vegetable crops in the Caribbean. This is the first report of TCSV infection of peanut in Haiti. This has implications for crop production and weed reservoirs throughout the Caribbean and southeastern U.S.

Technical Abstract: Tomato chlorotic spot virus (TCSV) was identified in peanut in Haiti. This is the first report of TCSV naturally infecting peanut. Genetic diversity of TCSV was characterized. This report provides an overview of this emerging virus for growers, extension workers, crop consultants and research and regulatory scientists.
