Abstract
TOMATO spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is characterized by its marked instability in vitro. A reflexion of this situation is the fact that there are no reports in the literature on the production of an active antigen preparation and of an antiserum for TSWV. In addition, Matthews1 points to a personal communication by Bawden, according to whom TSWV is among those viruses giving negative results in serological tests.
