The virus type is identified when testing was performed for verification -- i.e., serological or electron microscopy -- as opposed to plant symptoms being used for identification of the virus.  In some cases a generalized tospo kit was used, which does not differentiate between TSWV and INSV.  These are identified as TSWV/INSV in the database.

In at least two cases the thrips species identified in the original publication was not correct, and later identification verified by Laurence Mound.  These are referred to under the infection type.

Common names are listed only when they were specifically referred to in the publication.  No effort was made to match regional common names with species names.
