Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is one of the most studied plant viral pathogens because it is the most damaging virus for global tomato production. In order to combat this global threat, it is important that we understand the biology of TYLCV and devise management approaches. The prime objective of this review is to highlight management strategies for efficiently tackling TYLCV epidemics and global spread. For that purpose, we focus on the impact TYLCV has on worldwide agriculture and the role of recent advances for our understanding of TYLCV interaction with its host and vector. Another important focus is the role of recombination and mutations in shaping the evolution of TYLCV genome and geographical distribution.

番茄黄叶卷曲病毒（TYLCV）是研究最多的植物病毒病原体之一，因为它是全球番茄生产中最具破坏性的病毒。为了应对这一全球威胁，重要的是我们了解TYLCV的生物学并设计管理方法。这次审查的主要目的是强调有效应对TYLCV流行病和全球传播的管理策略。为此，我们关注TYLCV对全球农业的影响以及最新进展的作用，以了解TYLCV与宿主和载体的相互作用。另一个重要的焦点是重组和突变在塑造TYLCV基因组和地理分布中的作用。
