Disrupting Mating Behavior ofDiaphorina citri(Liviidae) [PDF]

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2016
Severe economic damage from citrus greening disease, caused by 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' bacteria, has stimulated development of methods to reduce mating and reproduction in populations of its insect vector, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae). Male D.

Mycelial compatibility, anastomosis, and nucleus numbers of eight Mexican Hirsutella citriformis strains isolated from Diaphorina citri [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Background Among entomopathogenic fungi, H. citriformis has been recognized as potential biocontrol agent against the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae). Nevertheless, this fungus is poorly characterized.

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).

Leaf‐roll gall formation in Reynoutria × bohemica and its implications for biological control with Aphalara itadori

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 12, Page 922-933, December 2023., 2023
The psyllid Aphalara itadori (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is a biocontrol agent against invasive knotweed (Polygonaceae). A newly collected line of the insect causes leaf‐roll galling in Reynoutria bohemica, one of the three invasive knotweed species. This galling may aid agent establishment by alleviating known nymphal mortality factors.

Risk assessment of Citripestis sagittiferella for the EU

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a risk assessment of Citripestis sagittiferella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), the citrus pulp borer, an oligophagous pest reported from South‐East Asia and restricted to Citrus spp. The entry risk assessment focused on the citrus fruit pathway.

Microbiome of pear psyllids: A tale about closely related species sharing their endosymbionts

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 12, Page 5788-5808, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Psyllids are phloem‐feeding insects that can transmit plant pathogens such as phytoplasmas, intracellular bacteria causing numerous plant diseases worldwide. Their microbiomes are essential for insect physiology and may also influence the capacity of vectors to transmit pathogens.

Insight into Biological Control Potential of Hirsutella citriformis against Asian Citrus Psyllid as a Vector of Citrus Huanglongbing Disease in America

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Studies on Hirsutella citriformis Speare are scarce. Among these, some reports have focused on phenotypic identification, based on its morphological structure and morphometric characteristics. This fungus is known to control economically important citrus

Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) Abundance in Puerto Rico Declines with Elevation [PDF]

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2015
Diaphorina citri Kuwayama is the primary vector of Huanglongbing, the most devastating disease of citrus. D. citri populations in Puerto Rico were monitored with yellow sticky traps on citrus trees or other psyllid host plants at different elevations, ranging from 10 to 880 m above sea level. Trapping was conducted in March through May of 2013 and 2014

Behavioral Responses of Asian Citrus Psyllid (Hemiptera: Liviidae) to Salinity-Stressed Citrus

Environmental Entomology, 2021
AbstractMost commercial citrus varieties are intolerant of salinity stress, but some rootstocks, such as Rangpur lime, tolerate moderately saline irrigation water. Development of salinity-tolerant citrus may allow for citriculture in semiarid and arid regions where salinity stress is problematic.

Infection and distribution of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus in citrus plants and psyllid vectors at the cellular level

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 1221-1234, April 2022., 2022
In the situation that Huanglongbing (HLB) occurred in citrus growing fields in China, specific antibodies against the outer membrane protein of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the major causal agent of HLB, was prepared. By using the specific antibodies, the infection and distribution of CLas in citrus plants and psyllid vectors at the ...
