RESUMO
In the last years, the fruit fly Zapronius indianus became the most important plague of Brazilian fig production. A fermentation process is associated with infection of the fruit by this fly. A single yeast species, Candida tropicalis, was identified in all the infected figs. The presence of one species and the low genetic variability (RAPD) of the isolates indicates an uncommonly strict interaction between C. tropicalis and Z. indianus.

RESUMO
Monoclonal antibodies were obtained against Tomato mosaic tobamovirus (ToMV) isolated in Brazil. One antibody (8G7G2) isotyped as IgG2b (k light chain) showed strong specificity and very low cross reaction with the Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). It can be used in identification of tomato mosaic virus (ToMV).
