Background matching behaviour and pathogen acquisition: plant site preference does not predict the bacterial acquisition efficiency of vectors
Many insect-borne pathogens are heterogeneously distributed within their hosts: therefore, a vector's within-plant distribution may be a predictor of its exposure to pathogens. In this study, we se...
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...
