Aphid transmission of nanoviruses [PDF]
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2020 AbstractThe genus Nanovirus consists of plant viruses that predominantly infect legumes leading to devastating crop losses. Nanoviruses are transmitted by various aphid species. The transmission occurs in a circulative nonpropagative manner. It was long suspected that a virus‐encoded helper factor would be needed for successful transmission by aphids ...

Chemical cues mediating aphid location by natural enemies
European Journal of Entomology, 2008 There is increasing evidence that chemical cues play a pivotal role in host selection by the natural enemies of aphids. We use Vinson's (1976) division of the host selection process into habitat location, host location and host acceptance for both ...

Mating success and mating behaviour of the aphid, Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2002 In this study, aspects of the reproductive performance and behaviour of male Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) were investigated. We report that males of clones possessing an autosomal 1,3 translocation conferring insecticide resistance show
