First Report of a Mastrevirus (Geminiviridae) Transmitted by the Corn Leafhopper
Plant Disease, 2022Maize striate mosaic virus (MSMV; genus Mastrevirus) was recently reported in maize plants in Brazil and also detected by metagenomic analyses in the corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott). Although these findings suggested that D. maidis is a potential vector, no transmission studies have been performed.

Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in a Corn Field
Neotropical Entomology, 2021Leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) are phytophagous insects that transmit diseases and cause damage to this crop. Thus, the main goal of this study was to verify the spatiotemporal behavior of the leafhoppers Tapajosa ocellata (Osborn, 1926), Dechacona missionum (Berg, 1879), and Dalbulus maidis (DeLong, 1923) in a corn field in Igarapé-Açu ...

Plastic reflective mulches significantly reduced populations of corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott), adults and the incidence of corn stunt disease caused by Spiroplasma kunkelii (CSS) in late planted sweet corn (Zea mays L.). The reflective mulches were more effective than were either foliar or soil applied insecticides in managing ...

Characterization and Correlation of New Electrical Penetration Graph Waveforms for the Corn Leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) [PDF]
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2011 The corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), is a vector of three maize, Zea mays L., pathogens that have become limiting factors for maize production in some areas of the Americas.

Effects of temperature on the development, performance and fitness of the corn leafhopper D albulus maidis ( DeLong ) ( H emiptera: C icadellidae): implications on its distribution under climate change [PDF]
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, 2016 1- Maize and its wild teosinte (Zea) relatives are the only developmental hosts of the corn leafhopper. The leafhopper and the three phytopathogens that it transmits are found in a wide range of latitudes and elevations from the U.S.A. to Argentina. 2-

Forewarning the seasonal dynamics of corn leafhopper and mollicutes through neural networks
International Journal of BiometeorologyThe corn leafhopper (CL), Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), has become the most important corn pest in Brazil and other corn-producing countries. This highly efficient insect vector transmits corn stunting pathogens resulting in significant yield losses in corn fields. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between

Currently, the increasing productivity, garanee phytosanitary measures, and food security in plantations is a significant challenge. The potential of plant compounds in pests and diseases alternative control has been widely researched. This study is the first to investigate the use of the plant Morinda citrifolia L.(noni) for managing maize leafhoppers,

Intraspecific competition and performance of Anagrus virlai parasitizing the corn leafhopper
Annals of Applied BiologyAbstractIntraspecific competition and avoidance of superparasitism are critical for biological control. In this study, we conducted behavioural and biological trials to assess intraspecific competition in the egg parasitoid Anagrus virlai, targeting the corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis. Firstly, we investigated whether A.

Maize Response to Corn Leafhopper (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) Infestation and Achaparramiento Disease
Journal of Economic Entomology, 1997To determine the effect that the timing of infestation of Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott), a vector of 3 maize pathogens, known collectively as “achaparramiento,” has on stunt symptoms and maize yield, we conducted a field trial in the Sebaco Valley of Central Nicaragua.

Effects of temperature and vector age at the time of acquisition on the transmission of maize bushy stunt phytoplasma by the corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott), were studied. Mean latent period in the leafhopper and transmission rate of the Tlaltizapan maize bushy stunt phytoplasma isolate had a quadratic relation with temperature ...
