Abstract :
[en] This study investigated the transmission efficiency of Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) by four potato colonizing aphid species, Myzus persicae, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, Aphis gossypii and Aphis fabae, reported from leaves and yellow water trap. Physalis floridana was used as a test plant for virus transmission. DAS-ELISA was used for virus screening of samples as well as virus detection on the test plant after transmission experiment. A 2-h period was sufficient for the tested aphids to acquire PLRV virions. However, a difference in the transmission potential occurred according to the aphid species. The highest potential was recorded for M. persicae and M. euphorbiae, at 90 and 80%, respectively. For the first time, the study revealed the PLRV transmission efficiency of A. fabae, estimated at 50%. The lowest potential rate of 30% was recorded for A. gossypii. This study highlights the PLRV transmission capacities of four potato colonizing aphids suspected to play a key role in the spread of PLRV in potato seed production sites.
