Abstract
Grapevine trichovirus A (GVA) and grapevine trichovirus B (GVB) were s uccessfully transferred with bulk transmission trials under controlled conditions, from infected grapevines to herbaceous hosts by Pseudococ cus affinis MASK., a pseudococcid mealybug that may attack grapevines. P. affinis is the fourth mealybug species capable of vectoring GVA an d GVB, confirming that transmission by mealybugs of grapevine trichovi ruses may not be species-specific.
