Abstract
Abstract Strawberry necrotic shock virus (SNSV) was first established as a distinct species in 2004 and its incidence in areas around the world is ambiguous. There are several reports of Tobacco streak virus (TSV) infection of strawberry and Rubus before the classification of SNSV as a distinct species and at this point it is unclear whether those refer to TSV or SNSV. Of the more than 100 small fruit 'TSV' isolates tested, all but two strawberries were found to be infected with SNSV (Tzanetakis and Martin, unpublished) indicating that TSV is rather rare in berry crops; it is still to be verified in natural infections of Rubus. It should be assumed that the majority of TSV reports in strawberry and Rubus are actually reports of SNSV and therefore the virus should be considered to have a cosmopolitan distribution.
