Interpretive Summary: Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) causes significant economic losses to a wide range of crops. In this study, one TSWV isolate from basil and a second isolate from tomato were established in a common plant host. Viral proteins were monitored over time, host ranges were compared, and genome sequences were analyzed to shed light on the differences in the two TSWV isolates.

Technical Abstract: Significant economic losses result on a wide range of crops due to infection with Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). In this study, two TSWV isolates, one from basil and a second from tomato, were established in a common plant host. Viral proteins were monitored over time, plant host ranges were compared, and genome sequences were analyzed to shed light on the differences in the two TSWV isolates. Specific amino acids were identified that resulted in the observed phenotypic differences between the isolates.
