The transmission of Passion fruit woodiness virus (PWV) by Aphis gossypii (Glover) was evaluated. In two independent experiments, A. gossypii transmitted PWV to passion fruit plants at the rates of 75% and 100%, when eight and twelve viruliferous aphids were deposited by plant, respectively. At the end of the tests, nymphs of A. gossypii were observed in some of the passion fruit plants, suggesting that the aphid species was colonizing the plants. This seems to be the first report of Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa (Deneger) colonization by a species of aphid.
对棉蚜（Aphis gossypii (Glover)）传播西番莲木质化病毒（PWV）的情况进行了评估。在两项独立实验中，当每株植物分别接入8只和12只带毒蚜虫时，棉蚜将PWV传播给西番莲植株的比率分别为75%和100%。在试验结束时，在一些西番莲植株上观察到了棉蚜若虫，这表明该蚜虫种类正在这些植株上定殖。这似乎是关于一种蚜虫在黄果西番莲（Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa (Deneger)）上定殖的首次报道。
