"The plant disease caused by tobacco mosaic virus is found
worldwide. The virus is known to infect more than 150 types
of herbaceous, dicotyledonous plants including many vegetables,
flowers, and weeds. Infection by tobacco mosaic virus causes
serious losses on several crops including tomatoes, peppers,
and many ornamentals. Tobacco mosaic virus is one of the most
common causes of virus diseases of plants in Minnesota. "


Thanks for pointing that out and reinforcing the details with more
information.
