Identification and ecology of alternative insect vectors of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani' to grapevine. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Bois noir, a disease of the grapevine yellows complex, is associated with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ and transmitted to grapevines in open fields by the cixiids Hyalesthes obsoletus and Reptalus panzeri.

Plant begomoviruses subvert ubiquitination to suppress plant defenses against insect vectors. [PDF]
PLoS Pathog, 2019 Most plant viruses are vectored by insects and the interactions of virus-plant-vector have important ecological and evolutionary implications. Insect vectors often perform better on virus-infected plants. This indirect mutualism between plant viruses and

Distribution and Relative Abundance of Insect Vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in Olive Groves of the Iberian Peninsula. [PDF]
Insects, 2018 The phytosanitary emergency caused by the spread of Xylella fastidiosa in the Mediterranean has raised demands for a better understanding of the ecology of its presumed and candidate insect vectors.

Genetic Variation in Insect Vectors: Death of Typology? [PDF]
Insects, 2018 The issue of typological versus population thinking in biology is briefly introduced and defined. It is then emphasized how population thinking is most relevant and useful in vector biology.

Fibrillar structures induced by a plant reovirus target mitochondria to activate typical apoptotic response and promote viral infection in insect vectors. [PDF]
PLoS Pathog, 2019 Numerous plant viruses that cause significant agricultural problems are persistently transmitted by insect vectors. We wanted to see if apoptosis was involved in viral infection process in the vector. We found that a plant reovirus (rice gall dwarf virus,

RNA Interference in Insect Vectors for Plant Viruses. [PDF]
Viruses, 2016 Insects and other arthropods are the most important vectors of plant pathogens. The majority of plant pathogens are disseminated by arthropod vectors such as aphids, beetles, leafhoppers, planthoppers, thrips and whiteflies.

Water deficit enhances the transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 Drought is a major threat to crop production worldwide and is accentuated by global warming. Plant responses to this abiotic stress involve physiological changes overlapping, at least partially, the defense pathways elicited both by viruses and their ...

Rice Reoviruses in Insect Vectors.
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2016 Rice reoviruses, transmitted by leafhopper or planthopper vectors in a persistent propagative manner, seriously threaten the stability of rice production in Asia.

Invasive mutualisms between a plant pathogen and insect vectors in the Middle East and Brazil. [PDF]
R Soc Open Sci, 2016 Complex multi-trophic interactions in vectorborne diseases limit our understanding and ability to predict outbreaks. Arthropod-vectored pathogens are especially problematic, with the potential for novel interspecific interactions during invasions ...
