Competition among Flavescence Dorée Phytoplasma Strains in the Experimental Insect Vector Euscelidius variegatus. [PDF]
Phytoplasmas are plant pathogenic wall-less bacteria transmitted in a persistent propagative manner by hemipteran insects, mainly belonging to the suborder Auchenorrhyncha (Fulgoromorpha and Cicadomorpha).

Acoustic communication in insect disease vectors [PDF]
Acoustic signalling has been extensively studied in insect species, which has led to a better understanding of sexual communication, sexual selection and modes of speciation. The significance of acoustic signals for a blood-sucking insect was first reported in the XIX century by Christopher Johnston, studying the hearing organs of mosquitoes, but has ...

Progression of Watermelon Bud Necrosis Virus Infection in Its Vector, Thrips palmi
Thrips are important pests of agricultural, horticultural, and forest crops worldwide. In addition to direct damages caused by feeding, several thrips species can transmit diverse tospoviruses. The present understanding of thrips–tospovirus relationships

Assessing the Impact of Insecticide Resistance on Vector Competence: A Review
The primary strategy to avoid adverse impacts from insect-mediated pathogen transmission is the chemical control of vector populations through insecticides; its continued use has led to insecticide resistance and unknown consequences on vector competence.

Insect Vector Transmission Assays [PDF]
Phytoplasmas are transmitted in a persistent propagative manner by phloem-feeding vectors belonging to the order Hemiptera, suborder Homoptera. Following acquisition from the infected source plant, there is a latent period before the vector can transmit, so transmission assays consist of three basic steps: acquisition, latency, and inoculation.

Late-acting dominant lethal genetic systems and mosquito control. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Reduction or elimination of vector populations will tend to reduce or eliminate transmission of vector-borne diseases. One potential method for environmentally-friendly, species-specific population control is the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT)

Transovarial Transmission of Dolichos Yellow Mosaic Virus by Its Vector, Bemisia tabaci Asia II 1
The cultivation of dolichos bean [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] has been severely affected by dolichos yellow mosaic virus (DoYMV, Begomovirus) transmitted by whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae).

Learning and Memory in Disease Vector Insects [PDF]
Learning and memory plays an important role in host preference and parasite transmission by disease vector insects. Historically there has been a dearth of standardized protocols that permit testing their learning abilities, thus limiting discussion on the potential epidemiological consequences of learning and memory to a largely speculative extent ...

Establishment of a primary cell culture of Thrips palmi (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)
Thrips palmi (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is an important pest of vegetables, ornamental plants and fruit crops. In addition to the direct damage caused by feeding, it transmits several tospoviruses.
