Anesthetized aphids, whose stylets had been dipped into capillaries containing purified concentrated cucumber mosaic virus, acquired the virus and, after recovery from the anesthetic, were able to transmit it in a low percentage of cases. Although this study does not eliminate active probing as a means of virus acquisition, experimentally, it clearly establishes passive contamination of aphid mouthparts as a method of virus acquisition.
将麻醉后的蚜虫口针浸入装有纯化浓缩黄瓜花叶病毒的毛细管中,蚜虫获得了病毒,从麻醉中恢复后,在少数情况下能够传播该病毒。尽管这项研究并未排除主动刺探作为获取病毒的一种方式,但在实验上,它明确证实了蚜虫口器的被动污染是一种获取病毒的方法。
