Tomato Spotted Wilt

This virus affects jasmine (Jasminum mesnyi) but detailed information about symptoms, transmission, or management in the PNW is limited. Spotted wilt virus spreads via thrips on other crop hosts but data on ornamental impact remains sparse.

Vascular wilts are difficult to treat because the pathogen lives inside the plant's water-conducting tissue. Remove and destroy severely affected plants; do not compost them. The pathogen can persist in soil for years, so avoid replanting susceptible species in the same location. Focus on maintaining plant vigor through proper watering and fertilization, which helps healthy plants resist infection longer.
