Zusammenfassung:	Laboratoire de Génétique des Virus, CNRS, 91198 Gif sur Yvette Cédex, France Piry rhabdovirus is not transmitted from Drosophila melanogaster females to their progeny. However, in mixed infections with sigma, another rhabdovirus, bearing the g + genetic marker, Piry may occasionally be transmitted to offspring. Thus, an endemic Drosophila virus can act as a helper virus enabling vertical transmission of a virus pathogenic to vertebrates. Keywords: Piry virus, sigma virus, vertical transmission Received 22 February 1988; accepted 14 October 1988.
