Abstract
The ability of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci to transmit two strains of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus, the Israel and Mild strains, was studied after serial transfers of individual whiteflies that were viruliferous for both strains to tomato plants. After single whiteflies had successive acquisition feedings first on a single plant infected with one strain and then on a plant infected with the other strain, the single whiteflies later transmitted intermittently one, the other, or both strains to the test plants during serial transfers at 1-day intervals. Because both strains were found in the head, abdomen, and legs dissected from whiteflies during the retention period after the two successive acquisition feedings, both strains apparently circulate from midgut cells to salivary glands through the hemolymph.
