The US Department of Agriculture has banned the import of tomatoes and sweet peppers from several countries due to the discovery of the tomato and pepper browning and wrinkling virus (ToBRFV). The virus, part of the tobamovirus group, causes symptoms such as leaf swelling and discoloration, and leads to smaller, underdeveloped fruits with necrotic spots. The virus has been reported in the Dominican Republic, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Jordan, China, the UK, Turkey, the Netherlands, Israel, and Ukraine. Given the international trade of marketable tomatoes and seeds, there are concerns about the virus's spread. There are currently no resistant tomato hybrids to the virus.
