- Abstract
Aphid transmission is a major factor in the formation of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) populations. Here, we examined the effect of population interaction on aphid transmissibility of different CTV genotypes. We found that there was no correlation between the proportion of viral genotypes in the source population and what was transmitted. We next examined the transmission of a poorly transmitted infectious cDNA clone (T36) in mixture with other CTV genotypes. T36 transmission increased from 0.5% alone, to up to 35.7%, depending on the coinfecting genotype. These results suggest that interaction between CTV genotypes affects the transmission of this virus.
