Capturing Insect Vectors of Phytoplasmas
2012Insect vectors of phytoplasmas are limited to leafhoppers, planthoppers, and psyllids. While populations can be monitored by a number of passive techniques in the field, the capture of live insects is necessary for manipulation and study. A number of physical methods for capturing these insects already exist, but more innovative traps equipped with ...

Vector insects and their control.
Ciba Foundation symposium, 1996This paper emphasizes the huge influence that vector-transmitted disease has on humans using plague, epidemic typhus and nagana as examples. The continuing need for vector control in campaigns against insect-transmitted disease is shown by reference to current control programmes mounted against Chagas' disease, onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis and ...

Insect-Borne Plant Pathogens and Their Vectors: Ecology, Evolution, and Complex Interactions.
Annual Review of Entomology, 2018The transmission of insect-borne plant pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, phytoplasmas, and fungi depends upon the abundance and behavior of their vectors.

"INSECT VECTORS OF POLIOMYELITIS"
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1943To the Editor:— In reading your editorial on "Insect Vectors of Poliomyelitis" in the August 28 issue ofThe JournalI was struck by this statement: "The dominant species in each group were green bottleflies and blowflies, the common housefly being present in small numbers in only two of the four positive specimens." The common housefly is such an ...

Insect pests and insect‐vectored diseases of palms
Australian Journal of Entomology, 2009AbstractPalm production faces serious challenges ranging from diseases to damage by insect pests, all of which may reduce productivity by as much as 30%. A number of disorders of unknown aetiology but associated with insects are now recognised. Management practices that ensure the sustainability of palm production systems require a sound understanding ...

Insects as vectors of foodborne pathogenic bacteria
Terrestrial Arthropod Reviews, 2011AbstractFood safety is an important consideration worldwide. To maintain and improve our current knowledge of foodborne disease outbreaks, we must understand some of the more imminent issues related to food safety. A variety of agents are responsible for transmitting the estimated 76 million cases of illnesses caused by foodborne pathogens every year ...

Immunity to eukaryotic parasites in vector insects
Current Opinion in Immunology, 1996Mosquitoes and blackflies have been the focus of recent efforts to elucidate factors influencing the susceptibility of vector insects to metazoan and protozoan parasites of medical significance. Vector species exhibit variation in cellular and humoral immune responses, as highlighted by studies of melanotic encapsulation and components of the ...

Spread of phytoplasmas by insect vectors
Phytopathogenic Mollicutes, 2013Vector-host plant interactions play an important role in limiting or expanding the spread of phytoplasmas. Polyphagous vectors have the potential to inoculate a wider range of plant species, depending on the resistance to infection of each host plant The spread of phytoplasmas by their insect vectors is on one hand determined by a strict vector ...

Baculovirus vectors for expression in insect cells
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1996Recombinant baculoviruses now represent a mature technology in which vector development, particularly for the control of expression level, has reached a plateau. However, other aspects of expression, such as the production of multiple proteins, improved product purification or maximizing protein processing, remain areas for novel vector and host cell ...
