Biodiversity and ecology of potential vectors (Insecta: Hemiptera: Auchenorryncha) of Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. in coffee plants of Puerto Rico
Xylella fastidiosa(Xf) is a xylem-limited bacterium that is the causal agent of coffee leaf scorch (CLS) in Central America. The purpose of this research was to survey potential vectors of Xf in pl...
Effects of Nymphal Diet and Adult Feeding on Allocation of Resources to Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter Egg Production
The glassy-winged sharpshooter is an invasive insect capable of transmitting the bacterial pathogen Xylella fastidiosa. Pre-oviposition periods of laboratory-reared glassy-winged sharpshooters are ...
EXTRACELLULAR GENOMIC DNA MEDIATES ENHANCEMENT OF XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA BIOFILM FORMATION IN VITRO
Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) produces extracellular DNA in PD3 liquid medium. This extracellular DNA could enhance biofilm formation, a factor in successful establishment of Xf in planta. The relative a...
Microbial interactions: ecology in a molecular perspective
The microorganism-microorganism or microorganism-host interactions are the key strategy to colonize and establish in a variety of different environments. These interactions involve all ecological a...
Potential distribution of Xylella fastidiosa in Italy: a maximum entropy model
Species distribution models may provide realistic scenarios to explain the influence of bioclimatic variables in the context of emerging plant pathogens. Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited Gram-...
