| dual "bacterial-fungal" symbiosis in deltocephalinae leafhoppers (insecta, hemiptera, cicadomorpha: cicadellidae). | the symbiotic systems (types of symbionts, their distribution in the host insect body, and their transovarial transmission between generations) of four deltocephalinae leafhoppers: fieberiella septentrionalis, graphocraerus ventralis, orientus ishidae, and cicadula quadrinotata have been examined by means of histological, ultrastructural, and molecular techniques. in all four species, two types of symbionts are present: bacterium sulcia (phylum bacteroidetes) and yeast-like symbionts closely rel ... | 2017 | 28939987 |
| molecular diversity of phytoplasmas associated with grapevine yellows disease in north-eastern italy. | a 3-year survey was conducted in northern italy to verify the presence and diversity of phytoplasmas in selected vineyards showing symptoms of severe yellows. symptomatic and asymptomatic grapevines were sampled, and insects were collected using yellow sticky traps. the phytoplasmas detected in grapevine samples were different according to the years: "flavescence dorée" (16srv-c/d) was detected together with other phytoplasmas such as 16srxii-a ('candidatus phytoplasma solani'-related, bois noir ... | 2018 | 28945521 |
