This virus is transmitted by at least two species of aphids (Myzus persicae and Aphis gossypii [3]) in a non-persistent manner and by mechanical inoculation.[4] There is no evidence that this virus is transmitted in the seed.
Like other potyviruses, this virus produces viral inclusions called cylindrical inclusions.[5] These inclusions can be diagnostic in Passiflora spp. (See #External links)
