Analysis of vector behavior as a tool to predict Xylella fastidiosa patterns of spread
The most likely scenarios for Xylella fastidiosa introduction in Central Europe is through infected ornamental plants, with a successive spillover from gardens and parks to cultivated orchards. G...
Characterization and Correlation of EPG Waveforms of Bactericera cockerelli (Hemiptera: Triozidae): Variability in Waveform Appearance in Relation to Applied Signal
The tomatoDpotato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) (Hemiptera: Triozidae), was recently shown to be a vector of " Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum" (Lso), a phloem-limited bacterium that ...
EPG combined with micro-CT and video recording reveals new insights on the feeding behavior of Philaenus spumarius
Feeding behavior in relation to spittlebug transmission of Xylella fastidiosa
Here, we provide the first insights into the transmission dynamics of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa by the meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius, gathered through DC EPG (electrical penetratio...
Impact of pymetrozine on glassy-winged sharpshooter feeding behavior and rate of Xylella fastidiosa transmission
Pymetrozine is a compound that interferes with insect feeding and interrupts transmission of plant pathogens. The glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca coagulata Say ( Hemiptera, Cicadellidae), i...
Settling and feeding behavior of sharpshooter vectors of Xylella fastidiosa on new plum selections apparently resistant to leaf scald disease
Plum leaf scald (PLS) is a serious disease caused by Xylella fastidiosa, which is transmitted by sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae). Disease management is based on planting healt...
Webinar: Vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe – Life history and transmission biology
The second webinar organized by Xf-ACTORS project. Led by Anna Markheiser and Daniele Cornara, it provides an overview of the identified and potential vector species of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe...
