Grapevine Pinot gris virus (GPGV) is a new virus reported in Europe and several other grape-growing countries. In an attempt to identify a vector for GPGV, samples of the eriophyid mite Colomerus vitis collected from buds and erinea in GPGV-infected vines were analysed by RT-PCR, using specific primers. Molecular analysis revealed the presence of GPGV in C. vitis. Transmission trials were conducted using C. vitis collected from GPGV-infected vines. Mites were able to transmit GPGV to healthy grapevines, suggesting that C. vitis is a potential vector of this virus.
葡萄灰比诺病毒（GPGV）是在欧洲和其他几个葡萄种植国家报道的一种新病毒。为了确定GPGV的传播媒介，使用特异性引物通过RT-PCR对从感染GPGV的葡萄藤的芽和叶瘿中采集的葡萄瘿螨样本进行了分析。分子分析显示葡萄瘿螨中存在GPGV。使用从感染GPGV的葡萄藤中采集的葡萄瘿螨进行了传播试验。螨能够将GPGV传播给健康的葡萄藤，这表明葡萄瘿螨是这种病毒的潜在传播媒介。
