Bilocal operators induced by an axionic wormhole solution are obtained in the case of a massless scalar field. For this purpose, we first show that the calculation of a Green's function for the scalar field on the wormhole background is reduced to a one-dimensional potential-barrier problem. We then evaluate numerically the asymptotic behavior of the Green's function and identify the effective interaction induced by the wormhole.
