Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), a member of the Orthotospovirus genus, was first described in 1915 in Australia and later confirmed as the causal agent of spotted wilt disease in the 1930s. Its global emergence intensified in the 1980s and 1990s, driven largely by the spread of western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis), a highly efficient vector. TSWV was first detected in North Carolina in 1988 and became widespread by 1997, with average incidence reaching 10–15% in the Coastal Plains and severe crop losses reported. In the southeastern U.S., the primary vector in tobacco is the tobacco thrips (F. fusca), which, along with the virus's ability to infect over 1,000 plant species, contributes to its persistent threat to diverse agricultural systems.
