I saved seed from a TSWV infected plant some years ago - 2002, I think - in fact, Orange Heirloom (which Lee will of course recognize!). Plants that same from the saved seed are fine - I know it's kind of a one point graph, but there it is.

Also - I've probably noted this before - TSWV doesn't spread plant to plant - I've had infected plants here and there in my driveway, but neighboring plants are fine. Still, I do eventually get them out of there because it seems as though the Dwarfs, when infected, don't produce at all - so not worth keeping them around. The fact that it doesn't spread is a great relief, though.
