Summary
Experiments to test the ability ofRhopalosiphoninus latysiphon to transmit potato virus V showed a transmission rate of 16 per cent after only two weeks; this was maintained for a further two weeks, beyond which time the rate rose rapidly. A comparison of the mode of inoculation of PVV byR. latysiphon andMyzus persicae suggested that the mechanism may be similar for both species.
