"curly top" or what?

[bigcheef]

Hey guys,

Just have a weird set of plants this year that have some kind of funk. Just these two pictured below have been afflicted. Any idea what it might be? I've heard of something called curly top virus but never seen it in person.





Thanks for any ideas you might have.

Sorry for not adding the pics origionaly.

Here are some good pictures of tomato plants with curly top
virus:

There is also a "pseudo curly top virus":

Here is a page summarizing the major tomato infecting
viruses:

There are lots more obscure ones, too. A slide from a
presentation on identification of virus diseases in tomato
given by some representive of a commercial company that
produces biotech supplies for this purpose listed about 30
of them that I had never heard of.

Thanks dice,

I guess I'll pull 'em up and start some replacements for a late season harvest.

Seems like the safe thing to do. It is not as if you cannot spare
a couple of small plants if it might save a dozen other ones
from the same fate.

Unless you have a commercial operation, greenhouse maybe,
finding out what it is exactly is probably not worth the cost.
