In February 2019, virus-like symptoms of necrotic yellowing were observed on tomato plants in a field plot in the locality of Odiénné in the Denguélé region of the north of C？te d’Ivoire (8°14.157 N; 6°26.772 W), together with high disease incidence and dense whitefly populations. The observed symptoms were similar to those associated with the poleroviruses (family Solemoviridae) recently described on pepper (Capsicum spp.) in Benin and on African eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum) in Mali (Afouda et al. 2017). BLASTn analysis showed that its nucleotide sequence shared 83.2% identity with that of an isolate of African eggplant yellowing virus from Benin (AeYV; KX856975).To our knowledge, this is the first report of AeYV both on tomato and in Cote d’Ivoire.
