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...
Functional and small-angle X-ray scattering studies of a new stationary phase survival protein E (SurE) from Xylella fastidiosa - evidence of allosteric behaviour
The genome data of bacterium Xylella fastidiosa strain 9a5c has identified several orfs related to its phytopathogenic adaptation and survival. Among these genes, the surE codifies a survival prote...
Waveform characterization of the soybean stem feeder Edessa meditabunda: overcoming the challenge of wiring pentatomids for EPG
Stink bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) are in general robust and restless insects, which makes them difficult to wire for electropenetrograph (EPG) studies. In addition, cuticular lipids...
