This systematized narrative review evaluates evidence linking climate drivers with cultivated tobacco physiology, tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), thrips-vector ecology, weed reservoirs, surveillance, and management. Direct multifactorial experiments that simultaneously manipulate climate, TSWV, tobacco, and vector species are scarce; therefore, the synthesis explicitly separates direct tobacco evidence from evidence derived from other TSWV hosts, vector-only studies, general plant-stress physiology, and proposed mechanisms. Available tobacco studies show that long-term growth temperature, acute heat exposure, and progressive soil-water deficit alter photosynthesis, pigment metabolism, stomatal conductance, reactive oxygen species, and antioxidant responses, but they do not by themselves demonstrate enhanced TSWV replication or systemic movement. Field and vector studies indicate that weather can alter thrips development, survival, dispersal, and the temporal coincidence between viruliferous adults and susceptible tobacco, although responses are nonlinear and differ among Frankliniella fusca, Frankliniella occidentalis, Thrips tabaci, regions, and populations. We synthesize quantitative exposure ranges, identify confirmed and extrapolated pathways, compare diagnostic and surveillance options, and define a climate-adaptive management framework. The evidence supports region-specific risk assessment rather than a universal assumption that warmer or drier seasons will necessarily increase epidemics. Priority research requires factorial tobacco-TSWV-vector experiments, standardized physiological and virological endpoints, and independent validation of forecasting models.PMID:42877656 | PMC:PMC13663016 | DOI:10.3389/fpls.2026.1935872
