Biological and some physical and chemical properties of a pathogen that causes yellow mosaic, leaf curl and degradation of the leafsheet ofHelianthus annuus L. were studied. The properties of the virus studied allow to refer it to the Tospavirus geneus of the Bunyaviridae family, therefore this virus can be classified as the tomato spotted wilt-lice virus (TSWVh).
