There are two sub-classes of persistent viruses: propagative and circulative.
Circulative viruses are protected inside aphids by the chaperone protein symbionin produced by bacterial symbionts.
Transmission of PVY by aphids occurs in a non-persistent, non-circulative manner which suggests a less intimate interaction between virion and vector than is the case of circulative virions.
