Abundance and Consumption Rate of Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) on Peaches and Plums
Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar), the glassy-winged sharpshooter, is a primary vector of phony peach and plum leaf scald diseases caused by Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. A survey of H. vitripenni...
Anatomy and histology of reproductive organs of female Homalodisca coagulata (Hemiptera : Cicadellidae : Proconiini), with special emphasis on categorization of vitellogenic oocytes
The anatomy and histology of female Homalodisca coagulata (Say) (Hemiptera: Ci-cadellida: Proconiini) reproductive organs is described using light microscopy. The reproductive organs of H. coagulat...
Biology of Zagella delicata (Hymenoptera : Trichogrammatidae), an egg parasitoid of the sharpshooter Tapajosa rubromarginata (Hemiptera : Clypeorrhyncha : Clcadellidae) in Argentina
Research on biological control of glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS) Homalodisca coagulata (Say) started in the 1990s. This sharpshooter, vector of Pierce's disease bacteria Xylella fastidiosa Wells...
Comparative Behavioral and Protein Study of Salivary Secretions in Homalodisca spp. Sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae)
A novel brush-induced method to physically stimulate salivation was applied to the glassy-winged and smoke tree sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae). This technique enabled the dir...
Comparative dispersal of Homalodisca coagulata and Homalodisca liturata (Homoptera : Cicadellidae)
California's viticulture and ornamental industries have suffered significant losses since the introduction of Homalodisca coagulata (Say), an important vector of the Pierce's disease bacterium. A b...
Effects of citrus and avocado irrigation and nitrogen-form soil amendment on host selection by adult Homalodisca vitripennis (Hemiptera : Cicadellidae)
Host plant water status is thought to influence dispersal of the xylophagous leafhopper Homalodisca vitripennis Germar, especially where plants are grown under high evaporative demand. Preference b...
Egg Stage of Homalodisca vitripennis and Homalodisca liturata (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae): Ovometrics, Embryonic Development, and Nonparasitic Mortality
Morphometric and developmental aspects of the egg stage of glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar), and Homalodisca liturata Ball were investigated. Considerable overlap exists...
EPG combined with micro-CT and video recording reveals new insights on the feeding behavior of Philaenus spumarius
Fecundity and success of progeny produced by Homalodisca coagulata (Hemiptera : Cicadellidae) on single host species
This study tested the hypothesis that Homalodisca coagulata (Say) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) confined to a single host cannot successfully produce progeny and survive to complete a generation. We fo...
Formation of Stylet Sheaths in aere (in air) from Eight Species of Phytophagous Hemipterans from Six Families (Suborders: Auchenorrhyncha and Sternorrhyncha)
Stylet sheath formation is a common feature among phytophagous hemipterans. These sheaths are considered essential to promote a successful feeding event. Stylet sheath compositions are largely unkn...
Identification of three potential insect vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in southern Italy
In order to identify potential vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in olive orchards in Puglia (southern Italy), Hemiptera insects were collected from October to December, 2013, in olive orchards with hi...
IMPACTS OF AN ORANGE OIL SOLVENT AND STICKEM (R) ON THE DETECTION OF XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA DNA IN GLASSY-WINGED SHARPSHOOTERS, HOMALODISCA VITRIPENNIS (HEMIPTERA: CICADELLIDAE)
Xylella fastidiosa is a plant pathogenic bacterium that causes many economically important agricultural diseases and is transmitted by the glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Hemip...
