Capacity assessment of Myzus persicae, Aphis gossypii and Aphis spiraecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to acquire and retain PVYNTN in Tunisia

Abstract

The study was carried out to investigate the ability of three aphids, Myzus persicae, Aphis gossypii and Aphis spiraecola, to acquire and retain the Potato Virus Y (PVY) isolate, PVYNTN. Tobacco plants, Nicotiana tabacum var. Xanthi, were used as test plant for the virus inoculation and aphid acquisition. The serological test double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was applied for virus detection on the test plants and aphids. Furthermore, virus retention by aphids was also assessed using a monoclonal anti-PVYN. Although a duration of 2 min was enough for the virus acquisition, the three tested aphids showed different capacities to retain PVYNTN. The retention of PVYNTN was 3 h for M. persicae and A. spiraecola, and 2 h for A. gossypii. This study provides basic information of the virus retention by potato-colonizing aphid species, which may increase our understanding of PVY epidemiology in Tunisia.
