Insects as alternative hosts for phytopathogenic bacteria [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2011 Phytopathogens have evolved specialized pathogenicity determinants that enable them to colonize their specific plant hosts and cause disease, but their intimate associations with plants also predispose them to frequent encounters with herbivorous insects, providing these phytopathogens with ample opportunity to colonize and eventually evolve ...

A Procedure for Sampling Nymphs of Saratoga Spittlebug, \u3ci\u3eAphrophora Saratogensis\u3c/i\u3e (Homoptera: Cercopidae), Using Percentage of Sample-Units Infested [PDF]
, 2017 A method is proposed for rapidly estimating the nymphal population of the Saratoga spittlebug on alternate host plants in young red pine plantations. The method is based on an assumption that the number of nymphs per sample unit is distributed within an ...

Observational evidence that maladaptive gene flow reduces patch occupancy in a wild insect metapopulation [PDF]
, 2016 Theory predicts that dispersal throughout metapopulations has a variety of consequences for the abundance and distribution of species. Immigration is predicted to increase abundance and habitat patch occupancy, but gene flow can have both positive and ...

Alternative Host Model To Evaluate Aeromonas Virulence [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2007 ABSTRACT Bacterial virulence can only be assessed by confronting bacteria with a host. Here, we present a new simple assay to evaluate Aeromonas virulence, making use of Dictyostelium amoebae as an alternative host model.

Alternate Hosts of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici and Their Role
Pathogens, 2020 Understanding the interactions between the host and the pathogen is important in developing resistant cultivars and strategies for controlling the disease. Since the discovery of Berberis and Mahonia spp.

Tradeoff between short-term and long-term adaptation in a changing environment [PDF]
, 2005 We investigate the competition dynamics of two microbial or viral strains that live in an environment that switches periodically between two states. One of the strains is adapted to the long-term environment, but pays a short-term cost, while the other ...

Population Diversity of Puccinia graminis is Sustained Through Sexual Cycle on Alternate Hosts
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2014 A high degree of virulence diversity has been maintained in the population of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) in northwestern United States. Although Berberis vulgaris is present in the region and Pgt has been isolated from aecial infections on B.
