This study was carried out to detect the Pepino mosaic virus in various tomato hybrids grown in greenhouses. Total of 194 plant sample were collected from the greenhouse during 2019-2020 years. As a results of DAS-ELISA was found 54 of samples with PepMV, which was identified both in monoinfection and in the complex with Cucumber mosaic virus, Tobacco mosaic virus and Tomato mosaic virus. The possible symptoms of PepMV during the growing season of tomatoes include interveinal chlorosis, deformations, mosaic and yellow spots on leaves and also blotchy ripening fruits. The reaction of 10 plant species to the inoculation of PepMV was established. The results showed the greatest susceptibility of Nicotiana rustica and Datura stramonium, where the maximum concentration of viral particles was detected 4 weeks after infection (OD 405 nm: 0.952-1.013).
