Water samples were collected from irrigation ditches and drainage canals surrounding the fields in Southern Greater Poland. Initially, the samples were subjected to low and high speed centrifugation and obtained pellets were used to perform biological assays. Viral identification involved biological, electron microscopic as well as molecular methods. The occurrence of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) was demonstrated in 12 out of the 17 examined water sources. The molecular analysis results showed the TMV and ToMV co-infections in the analysed water samples. To our knowledge, this is the first report of tobamoviruses found in environmental water in Poland.
