Abstract

From singly infected groundnut plants, M. persicae was more efficient in transmitting PSV (29%) and PMV (14%) than A. craccivora (17 and 4%, respectively). PSV was transmitted more efficiently (16%) than PMV (9%) by M. persicae from PSV/PMV doubly infected plants. A. craccivora also transmitted PSV more efficiently (7%) than PMV (3%) from doubly infected plants. In sequential feeding trials (aphid fed first on a PMV-infected leaf and then on a PSV-infected leaf, and vice versa), PSV was transmitted to a higher percentage of healthy groundnuts than PMV, regardless of the sequence of feeding. PSV transmission was enhanced to 35% with A. craccivora and 45% with M. persicae when the aphid vectors fed on PMV-infected plants before feeding on PSV source plants. Simultaneous transmission of both viruses by a single aphid from doubly infected plants or sequential feeding trials did not occur with A. craccivora and at 3% or less for M. persicae.
