An aphid is a small, soft-bodied insect that feeds on plant sap. They are often found in large colonies on the leaves, stems, and buds of plants. Aphids can cause damage to plants by sucking out their sap and transmitting plant viruses.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is an agency within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) responsible for protecting animal and plant health. It safeguards agriculture and natural resources by regulating the introduction of pests and diseases, ensuring food safety, and promoting humane treatment of animals. APHIS also conducts inspections, enforces regulations, and collaborates with various stakeholders to manage and mitigate threats to U.S. agriculture and the environment.
Aphids [of the superfamily Aphidoidea] also may be called greenflies and plant lice. They account for over 4,400 species spread out over ten families. Some examples include the following:Apple aphid [Aphis mali];Black cherry aphid [Myzus cerasi];Cabbage aphid [Brevicoryne brassicae];Currant lettuce aphid [Nasonovia ribisnigriMosley];Green apple aphid [Aphis pomi];Green peach aphid [Myzus persicae];Rose aphid [Aphis rosae].The above list gives an idea of the range of plant that aphids damage and destroy. But an example also may be given of an aphid that's destructive of plants but helpful to people. It's the Chinese sumac aphid [Melaphis chinensis Bell]. This aphid causes a gall to form on the sumac. From the gall, traditional healers and doctors are able to come up with a treatment plan for coughs, diarrhea, dysentery, and intestinal bleeding.
