Description:	In July 1992, about 5% of field-grown lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) plants in Brasilia-DF, central Brazil, were found to show symptoms of chlorosis and malformation of the apical leaves, ringspot lesions on pods, and stunting. Tomato spotted wilt tospovirus (TSWV) was detected in lentil by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay with antiserum specific for TSWV (serogroup I) isolates (2) The tospovirus from lentil was mechanically transmitted to lentil cv. Precoz, tomato cv. Rutgers, and Nicotiana rustica, inducing in all three host plants necrosis of the new growth, necrotic (usually concentric) lesions on leaves, and an overall plant stunting.
