Tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum (L) Mill is an exotic fruit vegetable which has achieved popularity due to its versatility in fresh and processed forms. Viruses impose serious limitations on tomato cultivation in many countries. Field sampling was done randomly and single leaf samples were collected from 10 randomly selected plants per village. Cultivars observed in the fields were grown in an experimental plot in the university of Buea. Both field and experimental samples collected, were tested for AMV, CMV and PVY by DAS-ELISA. Rio grande, Tropimech, Roma savanna, Roma VF, Carioca and Buea local were the cultivars grown in the study site. Varied virus disease symptoms were observed, ranging from mosaic to leaf curl. AMV, CMV and PVY tested positive in all the locations and on all the cultivars. All cultivars tested positive for the different viruses. The incidence of mixed infection was higher than that of single infection. Generally, the incidence of all the viruses were low ranging from 2.85% to 5.63% in single and mixed infections respectively. The study indicated that tomato in this part of the country is affected by virus diseases and must be taking into consideration for large scale production.
