Belief in neighbor behavior and confidence in scientific information as barriers to cooperative disease control

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 107, Issue 5, Page 1457-1476, October 2025.
Abstract Recent public health events have brought to the forefront the challenges of incorporating collective action behaviors and information seeking and processing behaviors to motivate personal protections to an environmental risk. The economic and social costs of large‐scale spread of disease when there is no cure for the disease, only preventative

Ubiquitin-proteasome pathway annotation in Diaphorina citri can reveal potential targets for RNAi-based pest management

GigaByte, 2022
Ubiquitination is an ATP-dependent process that targets proteins for degradation by the proteasome. Here, we annotated 15 genes from the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri. This psyllid vector has come

Developing epidemiological preparedness for a plant disease invasion: Modelling citrus huánglóngbìng in the European Union

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1403-1423, September 2025.
Huánglóngbìng (HLB) is a bacterial disease of citrus that has significantly impacted Brazil and the United States, although citrus production in the Mediterranean Basin remains unaffected. By developing a mathematical model of spread in Spain, we tested surveillance and control strategies before any future HLB entry in the EU.

Differential water and imidacloprid transport under unsaturated Florida citrus field conditions

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract Citrus production in Florida declined in the past 20 years by >72% due to citrus greening disease which is vectored by Asian citrus psyllid (ACP). Extensive use of pesticides such as imidacloprid (IDP) to manage ACP raises concerns of environmental pollution to shallow groundwater in citrus orchards dominated by sandy soils.

Host specificity and host stage preference of Psyllaephagus species (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) towards invasive eucalypt psyllids (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 463-475, August 2025.
Abstract Invasive eucalypt psyllids pose a threat to the long‐term production of eucalypts worldwide. In order to reduce their economic impact, classical biological control using Psyllaephagus species has been used successfully. The objectives of this study were to determine the host specificity and host stage preference of Psyllaephagus blastopsyllae,

Asian Citrus Psyllid (Hemiptera: Liviidae) Tolerance to Heat [PDF]

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2014
Abstract The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae), is an important citrus pest because it vectors bacteria responsible for a serious citrus disease known as huanglongbing (also called citrus greening disease).

Comparative metabolomics reveals how the severity of predation by the invasive insect Cydalima perspectalis modulates the metabolism re–orchestration of native Buxus sempervirens

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 818-833, August 2025.
Combining NMR– and LC–HRMS–based metabolomics reveals that root and leaf metabolic changes in boxwood predated by box–tree moth occur at the same density of predation for both central and specialized metabolisms. Abstract The recent biological invasion of box tree moth Cydalima perspectalis on Buxus trees has a major impact on European boxwood stands ...

Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...
