Annotation of chitin biosynthesis genes in Diaphorina citri, the Asian citrus psyllid [PDF]
The polysaccharide chitin is critical for the formation of many insect structures, including the exoskeleton, and is required for normal development. Here we report the annotation of three genes from the chitin synthesis pathway in the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae), the vector of Huanglongbing (citrus ...

Resistance of True Citrus species to Diaphorina citri
AbstractBACKGROUNDHost genetic resistance is a promising strategy for the management of Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), and consequently Huanglongbing (HLB). To date, no study has investigated the resistance to D. citri in the clonal and vegetatively propagated plants of the Microcitrus, Eremocitrus, and Atalantia genera.

Enterobacteriaceae as a Key Indicator of Huanglongbing Infection in Diaphorina citri [PDF]
Extensive microbial interactions occur within insect hosts. However, the interactions between the Huanglongbing (HLB) pathogen and endosymbiotic bacteria within the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama) in wild populations remain elusive.

Push‐pull and kill strategy for Diaphorina citri control in citrus orchards
AbstractThe development of sustainable methods to control Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae) is crucial to improve management of huanglongbing (HLB), the most important citrus disease worldwide. In a flushing Citrus × sinensis L. Osbeck (Rutaceae) orchard, this study assessed the combined effects of insecticide‐treated Bergera koenigii L. (

Citrus Huanglongbing correlated with incidence of Diaphorina citri carrying Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus and citrus phyllosphere microbiome [PDF]
In China, citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) disease is caused by the Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus bacterium, which is carried by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama.

Interaction between the flagellum of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus and the vitellogenin-like protein of Diaphorina citri significantly influences CLas titer [PDF]
Huanglongbing (HLB) is a global devastating citrus disease that is mainly caused by “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” (CLas). It is mostly transmitted by the insect Asian citrus psyllid (ACP, Diaphorina citri) in a persistent and proliferative manner ...

Neuropeptide Ecdysis‐Triggering Hormone and Its Receptor Mediate the Fecundity Improvement of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus’‐Infected Diaphorina citri Females and CLas Proliferation [PDF]
In CLas‐infected D. citri, CLas lowers 20E levels initially, relieving the suppression of ETH release. The subsequent increase in ETH levels upregulates its receptor DcETHR and activates the JH signaling pathway. The signaling cascade of 20E‐ETH/ETHR‐JH along with miR‐210, targeting DcETHR, boost female fecundity in CLas+ D.
