“…Although additional plant-virus systems need to be explored, the apparent congruence between transmission mechanism and effects on hostplant quality and attractiveness for vectors in the few systems described to date (3, 11 -13, 30, 31, 41, 42) strongly suggests the possibility of a general pattern-although examination of the nonpersistently transmitted Potato virus Y revealed no apparent effects of infection on host-plant quality or vector attraction (3,31). Congruence between viral transmission mechanisms and virus-induced effects on plant-vector interactions could reflect either pathogen adaptation to individual hosts (i.e., manipulation) or "selection" among pathogen-host interactions in which viruses or virus strains proliferate most readily in plant species where their effects on the host phenotype are conducive to transmission-even if those effects are by-products of infection that did not originally evolve as adaptations for the purpose of manipulating vectors.…”

Previous studies have shown that vector-borne pathogens can alter the phenotypes of their hosts and vectors in ways that influence the frequency and nature of interactions between them, with significant implications for the transmission and spread of disease. For insect-borne pathogens, host odors are particularly likely targets for manipulation, because both plant-and animal-feeding insects use volatile compounds derived from their hosts as key foraging cues. Here, we document the effects of a widespread plant pathogen, Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), on the quality and attractiveness of one of its host plants (Cucurbita pepo cv. Dixie) for two aphid vectors, Myzus persicae and Aphis gossypii. Our results indicate that CMV greatly reduces host-plant quality-aphids performed poorly on infected plants and rapidly emigrated from them-but increases the attractiveness of infected plants to aphids by inducing elevated emissions of a plant volatile blend otherwise similar to that emitted by healthy plants. Thus, CMV appears to attract vectors deceptively to infected plants from which they then disperse rapidly, a pattern highly conducive to the nonpersistent transmission mechanism employed by CMV and very different from the pattern previously reported for persistently transmitted viruses that require sustained aphid feeding for transmission. In addition to providing a documented example of a pathogen inducing a deceptive signal of host-plant quality to vectors, our results suggest that the transmission mechanism is a major factor shaping pathogen-induced changes in host-plant phenotypes. Furthermore, our findings yield a general hypothesis that, when vector-borne plant or animal pathogens reduce host quality for vectors, pathogen-induced changes in host phenotypes that enhance vector attraction frequently will involve the exaggeration of existing host-location cues.Cucumber mosaic virus | odor cues | parasite manipulation | pathogens | plant volatiles V ector-borne parasites can induce changes in the traits of their primary hosts that affect the frequency and nature of interactions between hosts and vectors (1-7). These changes can strongly influence rates of disease transmission and thus have significant implications for ecology, agriculture, and human health (4,7,8). A large body of literature has debated the criteria by which such parasite-induced changes in host phenotypes may be classified as manipulative adaptations or as by-products of infection coincidentally beneficial to the parasite (9, 10) and has further debated which, if either, of these possibilities should be considered parsimonious when conclusive evidence is lacking (10). Although adaptation for the purpose of manipulation (or the absence of such adaptation) can be difficult to establish firmly, it seems clear that natural selection will rarely be indifferent to pathological effects of infection that significantly influence parasite transmission (10, 11). Thus, it is reasonable to explore whether otherwise similar parasites that differ in their mode of ...

“…The attraction or arrestment of M. persicae on PLRVinfected plants appears to be adaptive for the aphid because PLRV-infected plants are superior hosts for this insect (Castle & Berger 1993). Myzus persicae attraction to or arrestment on infected plants could also explain the aggregated distribution of PLRV-infected plants in potato ® elds (Doncaster & Gregory 1948; S. J.…”

“…The aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) grows faster, has higher fecundity and preferentially settles on cultivated potato, Solanum tuberosum L., infected by the potato leaf-roll virus (genus Polerovirus) (luteovirus) (PLRV) than on uninfected potato plants (Castle & Berger 1993;Castle et al 1998). By contrast, plants infected by potato virus Y (PVY) or potato virus X (PVX) are neither better hosts nor are they preferentially colonized by M. persicae (Castle & Berger 1993;Castle et al 1998).…”

The in¯uence of viral disease symptoms on the behaviour of virus vectors has implications for disease epidemiology. Here we show that previously reported preferential colonization of potatoes infected by potato leafroll virus (genus Polerovirus) (luteovirus) (PLRV) by alatae of Myzus persicae, the principal aphid vector of PLRV, is in¯uenced by volatile emissions from PLRV-infected plants. First, in our bioassays both differential immigration and emigration were involved in preferential colonization by aphids of PLRV-infected plants. Second, M. persicae apterae aggregated preferentially, on screening above lea¯ets of PLRV-infected potatoes as compared with lea¯ets from uninfected plants, or from plants infected with potato virus X (PVX) or potato virus Y (PVY). Third, the aphids aggregated preferentially on screening over lea¯et models treated with volatiles collected from PLRV-infected plants as compared with those collected from uninfected plants. The speci® c cues eliciting the aphid responses were not determined, but differences between headspace volatiles of infected and uninfected plants suggest possible ones.
