Abstract
The relative transmissibility of two strains of tobacco etch virus (TE V) to two varieties of flue-cured tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum L., by ap terous tobacco aphids, Myzus nicotianae Blackman, was examined. M. nic otianae proved to be an efficient vector of both TEV-OX (Oxnard strain ) and TEV-W (a North Carolina isolate) for both the tobacco varieties, 'NC 2326' and 'Coker 176.' TEV-OX, however, was statistically less tr ansmissible than TEV-W to 'Coker 176.'
