    What virus? Without knowing, I would recommend either copper or sulfur based sprays (Safer brand if you are looking for something natural and non-systemic) starting before the onset...Silica will help strengthen the plant, but if you know what virus you are dealing with (take a sample to you local university) you can find the best solution.

    Did you grow anything else in your garden this year?
    Add a tablespoon or two of milk to the mix...

    Tomatoes get a virus that causes root rot. I don't know what it is called. But you can get it simply by buying your veg from a source that used infected soil. Sad.

    You know, now that I think about it, if it is happening every year, at about the same time, you might want to look at your soil (or your neighbors), if you re-compost it and get it really cooking, that might prevent another outbreak next season...

    That's a really good idea.

    Very sad, but you can also research varieties that are resistant to *insert virus/disease here*.

    I had that virus in my last garden, and I did plant some heirloom tomatoes from seed that were resistant. They did seem to fare better.
