Abstract
Investigations were conducted to determine if wing movement of alate green peach aphids, Myzus Persicae (Sulzer), would affect transmission efficiency of lettuce mosaic virus when compared with transmission efficiency of alates not allowed wing movement and apterous adults. All aphids tested were attached to pins with watercolor paint. Single aphids were used in 30 tests with each of the 3 groups. Treatment times used for the groups were 0, 15,30, 60, 900, 1800, and 2,700 seconds. Preceding treatment, all aphids were given a 15-second artificially interrupted access feeding on a lettuce mosaic virus source plant. The results indicated that regardless of form, transmission efficiency was similar at any time period. Loss of transmission efficiency was similar for all groups.
