Abstract
This paper describes detection of some typical plant viruses infecting Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. plants in Ukraine. Diagnostics using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) confirmed presence of antigens of viruses belonging to Tobamovirus (PMMoV, ToMV), Cucumovirus (CMV) and Tobravirus (TRV) genera in sap of tomato plants. When studying viral diseases of tomatoes, monoinfection was shown to be prevalent. Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) was most common.

Plant diseases are one of the factors suppressing the efficiency of agriculture
L. esculentum plants may be infected by a wide range of viruses from different families including Bromoviridae (Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Tomato aspermy virus (TAV)), Virgaviridae (Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), Potyviridae (Potato virus Y (PVY)), Secoviridae (Tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV), Tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV), Tomato black ring virus (TBRV)), Bunyaviridae (Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV)), Alphaflexiviridae (Potato virus Х (PVX), Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV)) and Geminiviridae (Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV)) [2, 3]
Most typically tomato plants are affected by tomato mosaic disease induced by ToMV
Summary
Plant diseases are one of the factors suppressing the efficiency of agriculture In this context, viruses infecting vegetable cultures are considered as pathogens having most prominent influence. L. esculentum plants may be infected by a wide range of viruses from different families including Bromoviridae (Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Tomato aspermy virus (TAV)), Virgaviridae (Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), Potyviridae (Potato virus Y (PVY)), Secoviridae (Tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV), Tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV), Tomato black ring virus (TBRV)), Bunyaviridae (Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV)), Alphaflexiviridae (Potato virus Х (PVX), Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV)) and Geminiviridae (Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV)) [2, 3]. Novel viruses appear and spread rapidly on tomato culture. These include Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), Tomato Torrado virus (ToTV) and Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) [ 4 ]
