Aphids are also efficient transmitters of disease as they go about their
daily business of sucking on every plant they light on. In the daffodil
world, it is suggested that if one cultivar is virused, aphids can transmit
that virus to a healthy cultivar.
In Ohio, however, we don't usually see aphids at the same time the daffodils
are up. But I don't know why this thinking wouldn't apply to other plants
and their diseases.
