TYLCV has hit our area hard this year. When I called my county extension agent he said he had an office full of sick plants that people had brought in. I have lost about 30% of the near 100 that I planted. So I have been searching for varieties that are resistant to or tolerant of the virus. The list I have come up with that are available in the US and their sources for seed is:

Tycoon-Paramount seeds 250 seeds minimum
Polina-Paramount seeds, 100 seeds min (out of stock)
Margo-Tomato Growers Supply
ChampionII- Totally Tomatoes
Sophya-Totally Tomatoes
SecuriTy28-HarrisMoran Co
Sacramento-Neseed

These are all red, medium size fruited hybrids. They tend to be more expensive to buy seed but it may be worth it. I am wondering if others know of other varieties or have had experience with any of these or other TYLCV varieties?
