Abstract
IT is now well established that migrating aphids alight in, and feed on, crops which they are unable to colonize1, and Broadbent2 has pointed out that such aphids may be responsible for the spread of virus diseases within those crops. An aphid which appears to fill this role in the case of two potato stylet-borne viruses, potato virus Y (PVY) and potato virus A (PVA), in certain districts of Northern Ireland, is Brachycaudus helichrysi (Kltb), the leaf-curling plum aphid.
