Patterns of Xylella fastidiosa colonization on the precibarium of sharpshooter vectors relative to transmission to plants

Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterial plant pathogen that causes many plant diseases, including Pierce's disease of grapevines. Sharpshooter leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae) vectors t...

Sharpshooter X Wave: Correlation of an Electrical Penetration Graph Waveform With Xylem Penetration Supports a Hypothesized Mechanism for Xylella fastidiosa Inoculation

Electrical penetration graph (EPG) monitoring is the most rigorous means of observation and quantification of feeding by piercing-sucking arthropods. Previous EPG studies with aphids and leafhopper...
