Oral delivery of double-stranded RNAs and siRNAs induces RNAi effects in the potato/tomato psyllid, Bactericerca cockerelli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The potato/tomato psyllid, Bactericerca cockerelli (B. cockerelli), and the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (D. citri), are very important plant pests, but they are also vectors of phloem-limited bacteria that are associated with two devastating ...

Effects of Temperature on ‘CandidatusLiberibacter solanacearum’ and Zebra Chip Potato Disease Symptom Development [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2012 Temperature has been shown to have a significant effect on development of liberibacter species associated with citrus Huanglongbing disease. ‘Candidatus Liberibacter africanus’ and ‘Ca. L. americanus’ are both heat sensitive, whereas ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ is heat tolerant. The recently described ‘Ca. L.

Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc), a potential threat to China's potato industry
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020 The potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Hemiptera: Triozidae) has recently emerged as a serious pest of potatoes and other solanaceous crops. It causes direct feeding damage and also vectors Candidatus Liberibacter solanaceaerum (Lso), a pathogen that

Characterization and Epidemiological Significance of Potato Plants Grown from Seed Tubers Affected by Zebra Chip Disease [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2010 An emerging disease of potato in the United States, known as “Zebra Chip” or “Zebra Complex” (ZC), is increasing in scope and threatens to spread further. Here, we report on studies performed to understand the role of tuberborne ZC in the epidemiology of this disease.

Using NextRAD sequencing to infer movement of herbivores among host plants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Herbivores often move among spatially interspersed host plants, tracking high-quality resources through space and time. This dispersal is of particular interest for vectors of plant pathogens.
