During recent years a gradual increase in maize (Zea mays L.) plants showing barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) symptoms has been noticed in northern Italy, mainly in late-sown crops. Severe damage was observed in some inbred lines, sometimes causing a total crop loss. Results obtained by surveys using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and by aphid transmissions confirmed that an isolate of BYDV (M-PAV) is the agent inducing the described symptoms. Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) is the most efficient vector of the M-PAV isolate, which is also transmissible by Sitobion avenae (Fabricius) and by Metopolophium dirhodum (Walker). Transmissions with R. padi
