Title: Influence of aphid lethal paralysis virus and Rhopalosiphum padi virus on aphid biology at different temperatures
Abstract: Aphid lethal paralysis virus (ALPV) and Rhopalosiphum padi virus (RhPV) are transmitted transovarially. Different incidences of transmission of ALPV were obtained for R. padi (30%) and Sitobion avenae (17%) and ALPV infections significantly reduced the longevity and fecundity of these aphids. Infected apterous R. padi aphids were more fecund than alate aphids of the same clone. The percentage of viral infection in different aphid species (R. padi, S. avenae, and Diuraphis noxia) was positively correlated with temperature; higher temperatures significantly increased the incidence of ALPV and RhPV and vice versa.
