The tomato pinworm (TPW) [Keiferia lycopersicella (Walsingham)] is primarily a pest in tropical and subtropical areas of the world ... Solanaceous crops such as tomato, potato, and eggplant are the preferred host plants of TPW ... The tomato pinworm attacks both the leaves and fruits of tomato. Tunnelling or mining by larvae in the leaves is the most common type of injury. Initially, the mine is long and narrow, but it later widens to become blotch-shaped. Older larvae may fold the leaf over itself, or knit 2 leaves together, between which they continue to feed, causing large blotches. In severe infestations, all leaves on a plant are attacked giving the crop a burnt appearance. 4, record 1, English, - tomato%20pinworm

La mineuse de la tomate [Keiferia lycopersicella (Walsingham)] est essentiellement un ravageur des régions tropicales et subtropicales de la planète [...] Les cultures de la famille des solanacées, comme la tomate, la pomme de terre et l'aubergine, sont les plantes hôtes de prédilection [...] La mineuse de la tomate s'attaque également aux feuilles et aux fruits de la tomate. Les galeries que ses larves creusent à l'intérieur des feuilles sont les lésions les plus communes. Au début, la galerie est longue et étroite, mais elle s'élargit ensuite et prend la forme d'une tache boursouflée. Vers la fin de leur développement, les larves replient parfois les feuilles en deux ou tissent deux feuilles ensemble, entre lesquelles elles continuent de se nourrir, provoquant l'apparition de larges taches. Lorsque l'infestation est grave, toutes les feuilles sont attaquées, ce qui donne aux plants un aspect «grillé». 2, record 1, French, - mineuse%20de%20la%20tomate
