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.
