Interaction of Liberibacter Solanacearum with Host Psyllid Vitellogenin and Its Association with Autophagy

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CLso) haplotype D, transmitted by the carrot psyllid Bactericera trigonica, is a major constraint for carrot production in Israel.

Unculturable bacteria exploit a secretory protein to antagonize insect melanization for persistent infection [PDF]

mBio
Phloem-inhabiting unculturable bacterial pathogens are persistently transmitted by insect vectors. However, how they evade insect immune responses to ensure persistent transmission remains unknown. The important melanization immune response in insects is

Seasonal Abundance of Psyllid Species on Carrots and Potato Crops in Spain

Insects, 2019
Psyllids (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) can transmit the phloem restricted bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (Lso). In Europe, Lso causes severe losses to carrot and represents a threat to the potato industry.

Infection Patterns of a Liberibacter Associated with Macrohomotoma gladiata, a Psyllid Feeding on Ficus microcarpa

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Almost all known Liberibacters can be transmitted by psyllids. This suggests that there is a coevolutionary relationship between these two groups of organisms. However, detailed investigation of Liberibacters and psyllids have often focused on only a few

Fig Psyllid Homotoma ficus (L.) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Homotomidae); Curtain Fig Psyllid Macrohomotoma gladiata Kuwayama (Insecta: Hemiptera: Homotomidae); and Ficus Leaf-Rolling Psyllid Trioza brevigenae Mathur (Insecta: Hemiptera: Triozidae)

EDIS, 2021
This article details three adventive (to North America) psyllid species that feed on ficus. Homotoma ficus (the fig psylla) was noticed first in 1969, and Macrohomotoma gladiata (the curtain fig psyllid) and Trioza brevigenae (the ficus leaf rolling ...

Metabolic changes and potential biomarkers in "Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum"-infected potato psyllids: implications for psyllid-pathogen interactions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Psyllid yellows, vein-greening (VG), and zebra chip (ZC) diseases, which are primarily transmitted by potato psyllid (PoP) carrying Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CLso), have caused significant losses in solanaceous crop production worldwide ...

Unamplified, Long-Read Metagenomic Sequencing Approach to Close Endosymbiont Genomes of Low-Biomass Insect Populations

Microorganisms, 2022
With the current advancements in DNA sequencing technology, the limiting factor in long-read metagenomic assemblies is now the quantity and quality of input DNA. Although these requirements can be met through the use of axenic bacterial cultures or large

The plant pathogenic bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum induces calcium-regulated autophagy in midgut cells of its insect vector Bactericera trigonica

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Autophagy plays an important role against pathogen infection in many organisms; however, little has been done with regard to vector-borne plant and animal pathogens, that sometimes replicate and cause deleterious effects in their vectors.
