Populations of Xiphinema americanum and X. rivesi were collected from apple orchards in eastern and western New York and tested in the laboratory for ability to transmit tomato ringspot virus (TmRSV) to cucumber and dandelion. Populations varied in the frequency with which they transmitted TmRSV, but this variation did not correspond to variation in disease prevalence in the orchard. The lower prevalence of TmRSV-incited disease in apple trees in western New York cannot be attributed to inability of the local Xiphinema spp. to transmit TmRSV.
从纽约东部和西部的苹果园中采集了美洲剑线虫和里氏剑线虫种群，并在实验室中测试它们将番茄环斑病毒（TmRSV）传播给黄瓜和蒲公英的能力。不同种群传播TmRSV的频率有所不同，但这种差异与果园中疾病的流行情况差异并不对应。纽约西部苹果树中由TmRSV引发的疾病患病率较低，不能归因于当地剑线虫属线虫无法传播TmRSV。
