TL;DR: Seven aphids were tested for their ability to transmit 3 viruses of papaya, and A. nerii and L. pseudobrassicae are reported as new vectors of these viruses.
Abstract: SummarySeven aphids were tested for their ability to transmit 3 viruses of papaya. Mild mosaic virus (MMV) was transmitted by Aphis craccivora, A. gossypii and Myzus persicae. Distortion ringspot virus (DRV) was transmitted by A. nerii, Lipaphis pseudobrassicae and M. persicae. Ringspot virus (RSV) was transmitted only by M. persicae. Specificity of transmission by the aphid vectors of MMV and DRV was demonstrated. A. craccivora, A. nerii and L. pseudobrassicae are reported as new vectors of these viruses.
