Transmission of tobacco rattle tobravirus by Paratrichodorus and Trichodorus has been known since 1961. However many of the studies of these virus‐vector associations have been uncritical. Here we describe a system to study acquisition and transmission of individual tobravirus isolates by given species of Paratrichodorus and Trichodorus. Results from initial experiments in which this system was used suggest that different isolates of tobacco rattle tobravirus differ in vector specificity.
