Molecular and physiological properties associated with zebra complex disease in potatoes and its relation with Candidatus Liberibacter contents in psyllid vectors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Zebra complex (ZC) disease on potatoes is associated with Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CLs), an α-proteobacterium that resides in the plant phloem and is transmitted by the potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc).

Synthetic blends of volatile, phytopathogen-induced odorants can be used to manipulate vector behavior [PDF]
, 2014 Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted from all plants and these VOCs are important means of communication between plants and insects. It has been documented that pathogen infections alter VOC profiles rendering infected plants more attractive to ...

Control of Tomato/Potato Psyllid on Greenhouse Tomatoes, 1997 [PDF]
Arthropod Management Tests, 1998 Abstract Trials were conducted on greenhouse tomatoes, approximately 12 inches in height, grown in 4.5-in pots. Plots consisted of individual plants and experimental design was a completely randomized with 8 replications. Prior to applications, individual leaves infested with psyllids were marked and subsequently monitored.
