A biological control model to manage the vector and the infection of Xylella fastidiosa on olive trees
Xylella fastidiosa pauca ST53 is the bacterium responsible for the Olive Quick Decline Syndrome that has killed millions of olive trees in Southern Italy. A recent work demonstrates that a ration...
DIVERSITY OF CICADOMORPHA (HEMIPTERA: AUCHENORRHYNCHA) IN CITRUS ORCHARDS IN NORTHEASTERN ARGENTINA
Among phytophagous insects, the Cicadomorpha are important economically because they damage crops by sucking plant sap and by transmitting plant pathogens, such as Spiroplasma citri and Xylella fas...
Monitoring the incidence of Xylella fastidiosa infection in olive orchards using ground-based evaluations, airborne imaging spectroscopy and Sentinel-2 time series through 3-D radiative transfer modelling
Outbreaks of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) in Europe generate considerable economic and environmental damage, and this plant pest continues to spread. Detecting and monitoring the spatio-temporal dynamic...
PCR Species-Specific Primers for Molecular Gut Content Analysis to Determine the Contribution of Generalist Predators to the Biological Control of the Vector of Xylella fastidiosa
Presence of Cicadomorpha in olive orchards of Greece with special reference to Xylella fastidiosa vectors
Insects of the infraorder Cicadomorpha cause serious economic impact on agriculture because of pathogens' transmission. The vector-borne bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, which is associated with olive...
Spittlebugs as vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in olive orchards in Italy
The recent introduction of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe and its involvement in the Olive Quick Decline Syndrome (OQDS) in Apulia (Salento, Lecce district, South Italy) led us to investigate the bio...
