Molecular Identification of Phytoplasma Vector Species

2012
The correct identification of the insect species involved in phytoplasma transmission is an essential condition for managing phytoplasma diseases and employing control strategies. The taxonomy of leafhoppers, planthoppers, and psyllids traditionally relies on morphological characters. Unfortunately, the identification of the distinctive traits requires

Phytoplasma-plant-vector relationships

2004
Phytoplasmas are non-culturable mollicutes associated with diseases in many wild and cultivated plant species belonging to many different families. They are transmitted by phloem-sucking leaf and plant hoppers and psyllids and often cause economically important epidemics worldwide.

Bacterial Endosymbionts Identified From Leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) Vectors of Phytoplasmas

Environmental Entomology, 2023
Abstract Insects often harbor bacterial endosymbionts that provide them with nutritional benefit or with protection against natural enemies, plant defenses, insecticides, and abiotic stresses. Certain endosymbionts may also alter acquisition and transmission of plant pathogens by insect vectors. We identified bacterial endosymbionts from

Potential leafhopper vectors of phytoplasma in carrots

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2004
Phytoplasmas are insect-vectored pathogens that cause characteristic and destructive diseases in carrots and other vegetables. A phytoplasma disease was first observed in Israeli carrot fields in 1995. Analysis of infected carrots showed the presence of aster yellows and western-X phytoplasmas.

Emerging phytoplasma diseases: research of the insect vectors

Phytopathogenic Mollicutes, 2011
In the last few years many reports focused on the emergences related to new phytoplasma diseases or new outbreaks of already known ones. Some of these diseases were recorded in Europe and gave cause of concerns because of their possible wide spreading throughout the continent, damaging forest trees or economically important crops.

Phytoplasmas and Their Insect Vectors: Implications for Date Palm

2015
Phytoplasmas are transmitted chiefl y by insects, most commonly planthoppers and leafhoppers. Molecular genetic analyses have improved the understanding of phytoplasma taxonomy, and also enhanced the ability to identify phytoplasmas detected in hosts and insect vectors.

Phytoplasmas: genomes, plant hosts and vectors

2009
Phytoplasmas are a worldwide issue in plant health. A range of serious diseases are caused by these bacteria in major crops around the globe. Knowledge of the importance of phytoplasmas as plant disease agents has advanced rapidly over the last decade with an increased interest in the impact of these pathogens on important field and horticultural crops

POMACEOUS FRUIT TREE PHYTOPLASMAS AND THEIR POTENTIAL VECTORS IN CROATIA

Acta Horticulturae, 2008
Surveys of pomaceous fruit trees were carried out in the years 2003 and 2004 in order to determine the current status of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma pyri' (pear decline, PD) and 'Ca. P. mali' (apple proliferation, AP) in Croatia. PD and AP were in the focus of our interest because they are on the Croatian A2 quarantine list of pests and diseases.

Insects as Phytoplasma Vectors: Ecological and Epidemiological Aspects

2019
The different aspects involved in the transmission of phytoplasmas by insect vectors (leafhoppers, planthoppers, and psyllids) are presented from an ecological point of view. The epidemiology of phytoplasma-associated diseases is a consequence of the vectors’ ability in acquisition, inoculation, dispersal, survival, host range, and habitat colonization.
