Abstract
ABSTRACT
Experiments were undertaken to elucidate the characteristics of the transmission of peach mosaic virus (PMV) by Eriophyes insidiosus. Transmission efficiency by single E. insidiosus was as high as 17%. The minimum inoculation access period was between 3 and 6 h. E. insidiosus acquired the virus after a minimum acquisition access period of 3 days. No latent period was demonstrated. While most plant viruses which are transmitted by eriophyid mites are transmitted in a persistent mode, our data are more consistent with a semipersistent model.
