Abstract
PRELIMINARY experiments on the resolution of strawberry virus complexes have shown that, after feeding for twenty-four hours on a plant infected with' yellow-edge', the vector Capitophorus fragari Theob. transmits a single virus which is believed to be the'mild crinkle' virus. This virus is transmitted after infection-feeding periods of 1 hour or more, persists for only a few hours in the vector and produces faint chlorotic spots on the leaves of Royal Sovereign strawberry1.
