Biological characterization consisted of a host range study using either sap inoculation or particle bombardment as inoculation methods. The yellow spot virus can infect plants in Solanaceae and Amaranthaceae, including economically importat crops as sweet pepper, and weeds as Datura stramonium and Nicotiana silvestris. For the molecular characterization, the full-length genome (DNA-A and DNA-B) was amplified, cloned and completely sequenced. Sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analyses indicated that TGV-[Bi2] constitutes a novel begomovirus species named Tomato yellow spot virus (ToYSV), closely related to Sida mottle virus (SiMoV). amolecular biology aBemisia Tabaci aBiologia Molecular aInseto aLycopersicon Esculentum aPraga aTomate aVírus aAnálise biológicva aGeminivírus aMosca-branca aToYSV awhitefly1 aFERREIRA, S. de S.1 aANDRADE, E.
