Spotted wilt is common on tomato, potato, tobacco, lettuce, pea, celery, and other vegetables... In tomato there are bronze, ringlike secondary lesions; plants are stunted with some necrosis; there may be a yellowish mosaic with leaf distortion. Fruits are often marked with concentric rings of pale red, yellow, or white... Transmission [of the virus] is by onion and flower thrips. 2, record 1, English, - tomato%20spotted%20wilt

La tache de bronze, causée par le virus de la tache de bronze, [est] une maladie très contagieuse [qui] peut être transmise au cours de la manipulation des cultures. Le symptôme principal est le bronzage des jeunes feuilles suivi d'une déformation unilatérale, d'une atrophie prononcée et de l'arrêt presque complet de la croissance. Le bronzage peut se présenter sous la forme de taches isolées ou recouvrir toute la surface (ou presque) des feuilles. 2, record 1, French, - taches%20bronz%C3%A9es%20de%20la%20tomate

The disease known as potato deforming mosaic was first reported in the 1980's in Southern Brazil. Symptoms of mosaic with leaf distortion were seen in infected potato plants and a virus was suggested as the causal pathogen... Our results indicate that the potato deforming mosaic and tomato yellow vein streak diseases are caused by the same geminivirus, belonging to the Begomovirus genus. 5, record 3, English, - potato%20deforming%20mosaic%20disease

Tobacco etch disease [is] caused by tobacco etch virus... Tobacco etch causes a clearing of the veins and a mild mottling without much leaf distortion. Growth is only slightly retarded. The virus is transmitted by the green peach and potato aphids in Ontario, but it may be transmitted by other aphids elsewhere. When tobacco etch occurs in greenhouse crops, it usually occurs with tomato mosaic and cucumber mosaic viruses. 2, record 4, English, - tobacco%20etch

La croissance n'est que légèrement ralentie. En Ontario, ce sont le puceron vert du pêcher et celui de la pomme de terre qui propagent le virus, mais dans d'autres régions, il peut être transmis par d'autres espèces de pucerons. Lorsque la rainure du tabac apparaît dans les serres, c'est d'ordinaire en association avec les virus de la mosaïque de la tomate et de la mosaïque du concombre. 3, record 4, French, - gravure%20du%20tabac

Tomato mosaic virus used to be common and widespread, but most modern cultivars are resistant. The virus exists in several strains that cause a variety of symptoms. Its common symptom is light to dark green mottling on the leaves, often accompanied by wilting of young leaves on sunny days when plants first become infected. The leaflets of affected leaves are usually distorted, puckered, and smaller than normal. The plant is reduced in size and becomes pale green and spindly... Disease symptoms are greatly influenced by temperature, day length, light intensity, age of plant, virus strain, and cultivar of tomato. Various strains of tomato mosaic virus cause winter necrosis, summer necrosis, or crusty-fruit diseases... 3, record 5, English, - tomato%20mosaic%20virus

La mosaïque commune a déjà été fort répandue, mais la plupart des nouveaux cultivars résistent à la maladie. Il existe plusieurs souches de virus, qui provoquent différents symptômes. La maladie a pour principal symptôme une moucheture des feuilles allant du vert clair au vert foncé, souvent associée à la flétrissure des jeunes feuilles par temps ensoleillé au moment de l'infection initiale des plants. Les folioles des feuilles infectées sont habituellement déformées, ridées et plus petites qu'à la normale. La plante est rabougrie, devient grêle et prend une couleur vert pâle [...] Les symptômes de la maladie sont fortement influencés par la température, la longueur des jours, l'intensité lumineuse, l'âge de la plante, la souche du virus et le cultivar des tomates cultivées. Différentes souches du virus de la mosaïque commune de la tomate sont responsables de la nécrose d'hiver, de la nécrose d'été et du fruit en croûte. 2, record 5, French, - virus%20de%20la%20mosa%C3%AFque%20de%20la%20tomate

The disease is caused by a late infection by the tomato mosaic virus, which usually severely affects the fruit on one or two clusters without affecting other fruit at all. The characteristic symptoms of internal browning are noticeable when the fruit is cut across near the stem end. In slightly diseased fruit only a few small brown areas may occur. External symptoms are gray or grayish brown areas that often show through the translucent skin of the green or partly ripe fruit. These appear occasionally as blotchy, ill-defined areas. In severely diseased green or ripe fruit much of the flesh tissue of the wall is brown. 2, record 6, English, - internal%20browning

La maladie a pour cause un retour tardif du virus de la mosaïque de la tomate. En général, elle attaque gravement les fruits d'une grappe ou deux sans toucher les autres. Les symptômes caractéristiques du brunissement interne apparaissent clairement lorsque l'on coupe un fruit transversalement près du pédoncule. Dans les fruits légèrement infectés, le brunissement peut se limiter à quelques petites taches brunes. À l'extérieur, les symptômes prennent la forme de petites taches grises ou brun grisâtre souvent visibles à travers la peau transparente des fruits verts ou partiellement mûrs. Parfois, ils peuvent apparaître sous forme de taches ou de zones de formes indistinctes. Dans les fruits verts ou mûrs gravement atteints, une grande partie de la chair près de la paroi est brune. 2, record 6, French, - brunissement%20interne
