Jones, T., & Nita, M. 2020 Ill's Mealybug, Ferrisia gilli, can Transmit Grapevine Leafroll-Associated Virus-3 After a 24-Hour Acquisition Time. International Journal of Phytopathology 9(02): 139-144

Keywords:

GLRV

Notes: Approximately 67% and 58% rates of GLRaV-3 acquisition by F. gilli following 24 and 48 hours, respectively, of feeding period were documented. F. gilli first instars fed on a GLRaV-3-positive grapevine for 24 and 48 hours successfully transmitted GLRaV-3 to healthy grapevines after 24 hours of feeding/transmission time. The quick acquisition demonstrated in this study could be one of the factors that promoted the rapid expansion of GLRaV-3-infected vines in vineyards documented in previous studies.
