Family: Potyviridae
Genus: Potyvirus
Acronym: TEV
TEV Synonyms: Marmor erodens, tobacco virus 13, tomato etch virus, Nicotiana virus 7
The severity of symptoms in cultivated plants depends greatly on the host species and cultivar and on virus strain. In tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), the leaves are narrowed and show mottling and necrotic etching; symptoms and effects on yield can be more severe with Burley tobaccos than with flue-cured types.
Symptoms in pepper (Capsicum annuum) include mottling, mosaic and distortion of leaves, distortion of fruit,... more info

Symptoms in pepper (Capsicum annuum) include mottling, mosaic and distortion of leaves, distortion of fruit, and stunting; however, resistant cultivars have been developed. Infected tomato plants are stunted, and their leaves are mottled and distorted; yield reductions of over 25%.
