Nonviruliferous A. cajani colonies were established on detached healthy leaflets of a PPSMV-immune pigeon pea cultivar (ICP8863) floating on water. The transmission efficiency of single A. cajani was up to 53%, but was 100% when >5 mites per plant were used. A. cajani acquired PPSMV after a minimum acquisition access period (AAP) of 15 minutes and inoculated virus after a minimum inoculation access period (IAP) of 90 minutes. No latent period was observed. Starvation of A. cajani prior to, or following, PPSMV acquisition reduced the minimum AAP and IAP periods to 10 and 60 minutes, respectively, and mites retained virus for up to 13 h. None of the mites that developed from eggs taken from PPSMV-infected leaves transmitted the virus, indicating that it is not transmitted transovarially. Taken together, these data suggest a semipersistent mode of transmission of PPSMV by A. cajani. date: 2002 date_type: published publication: Plant Disease volume: 86 number: 12 publisher: American Phytopathological Society pagerange: 1297-1302 refereed: TRUE issn: 0191-2917 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Transmission+of+Pigeon+pea+sterility+mosaic+virus+by+the+Eriophyid+Mite%2C+Aceria+cajani+%28Acari%3A+Arthropoda%29&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo= related_url_type: author citation: Kulkarni, N K and Kumar, P L and Muniyappa, V and Jones, A T and Reddy, D V R (2002) Transmission of Pigeon pea sterility mosaic virus by the Eriophyid Mite, Aceria cajani (Acari: Arthropoda).
