Abstract

Stylet penetration activities of two aphid species were recorded electrically efficiency of potato virus Y transmission. B. helichrysi (Kltb.) acquired the virus during 15% of single penetrations on infected leaves. These acquisitions were associated with the occurrence of cell membrane puncture by stylets. recorded during 44% of the penetrations. D. platanoidis (Schrank) punctured membranes during only 8% of penetrations, and its acquisition efficiency was less than 1%. The frequency with which aphids puncture cell membranes appears to partially determine their vector efficiency.
