Rayado fino virus (RFV) of maize(Zea mays)was transmitted by the leaf‐hopperDalbulus maidisin a manner characteristic of viruses that multiply in their insect vectors. Individual insects fed on infected plants transmitted the virus after incubation periods of 8–22 days; males had shorter incubation periods than females but died sooner. Insects retained infectivity for 1–20 days. Transmission by most insects was intermittent. Inoculativity byD. maidisdecreased with time, but the virus was recovered from insects that had lost their ability to transmit. Extracts of plants infected with RFV and viruliferous insects were injected into healthy insects, which became viruli‐ferous. Infectivity of the extracts was not affected by tetracycline hydrochloride (Achromycin).D. maidiswas able to transmit simultaneously RFV and the corn stunt agent. Other than maize, Teosinte(Euchlaena mexicana)was the only plant susceptible to the virus, among a number of species of Gramineae tested.
