Tomato spotted wilt virus(TSWV)and tobacco mosaic virus(TMV)are two important viral pathogens that account for significant yield losses and quality damage in many economically important crops.During 2021-2022,14 sweet wormwood(Artemisia caruifolia)leaf samples with leaf yellowing and curling symptoms or asymptomatic were collected from tobacco fields in Lijiang of Yunnan province.The colloidal gold antigen rapid screen kits and RT-PCR were used to identify the pathogens of diseased plants.Immunological assays using colloidal gold antigen rapid screen kits showed that nine leaf samples were infected with TSWV(64.28%positive rate),three infected with TMV(21.43%positive rate),and three infected with both TSWV and TMV.RT-PCR was carried out to obtain viral sequences from these three co-infected sweet wormwood samples.Then three N gene sequences of TSWV,three cp sequences and two partial RdRp sequences of TMV were obtained.Sequence alignment showed that the TSWV isolates were most closely related to the TSWV-2 isolate from Yunnan sharing 99.6%sequence identity,and the TMV isolates shared the highest sequence identity(>99.4%)with the Shenyang isolate from Liaoning and Yongren-1 isolate from Yunnan.It is the first report that sweet wormwood plants were co-infected by TSWV and TMV.
