The acquisition of tospoviruses by thrips vectors is restricted to a well defined time period during the first and early second larval stages, when there is a temporary association between mid-gut, visceral muscles and salivary glands. This association is the result of a displacement of the brain into the prothoracic region by enlarged cibarial muscles. The subsequent loss of this association leads to a strong input of virus particles into the malpighian tubules via the haemocoel. Mechanical transmission through excrement and oviposition by adults is a possible alternative mode of virus transmission that requires investigation.
西花蓟马传播番茄斑萎病毒属病毒仅限于一龄幼虫和二龄幼虫早期的特定时间段，在此期间中肠、内脏肌肉和唾液腺之间会形成临时联系。这种联系是由于食窦肌肉增大导致脑部移位至前胸区域所致。随后这种联系的消失会导致病毒粒子通过血腔大量进入马氏管。成虫通过排泄物和产卵进行机械传播是一种可能的病毒传播替代方式，需要进行研究。
