Interpretive Summary: Tomatoes and peppers are important crops in Thailand and other tropical, subtropical and temperate areas. Multiple virus pathogens continue to emerge in these crops. Tomato necrotic ringspot virus (TNRV) was first reported in Thailand in 2011, where it continues to reduce pepper and tomato yield and quality. Full genome data and analysis in this report are key to identification and classification of TNRV and related viruses. These results will be useful to industry, research and regulatory scientists.

Technical Abstract: Thrips-transmitted orthotospoviruses are economically important plant pathogens worldwide. One such virus, tomato necrotic ringspot virus (TNRV), was first reported in Thailand in 2011. TNRV continues to reduce pepper and tomato yield and quality. Full genome data has been lacking until this report. Our analyses indicate that TNRV is a distinct orthotospovirus species. In addition, our use of concatenated orthotospovirus genomic RNAs for these analyses suggests that this approach will be of value in future phylogenetic studies for this virus group.
