| infectivity and transmission of xylellua fastidiosa by philaenus spumarius (hemiptera: aphrophoridae) in apulia, italy. | discovery of xylella fastidiosa from olive trees with "olive quick decline syndrome" in october 2013 on the west coast of the salento peninsula prompted an immediate search for insect vectors of the bacterium. the dominant xylem-fluid feeding hemipteran collected in olive orchards during a 3-mo survey was the meadow spittlebug, philaenus spumarius (l.) (hemiptera: aphrophoridae). adult p. spumarius, collected in november 2013 from ground vegetation in x. fastidiosa-infected olive orchards, were ... | 2014 | 25195417 |
| seasonal fluctuations of sap-feeding insect species infected by xylella fastidiosa in apulian olive groves of southern italy. | a study on seasonal abundance of auchenorrhyncha species and their infectivity by xylella fastidiosa in the apulia region of italy was conducted to identify ideal periods for monitoring and adoption of potential control measures against insect vectors. adult populations of auchenorrhyncha species were monitored monthly over a 2-yr period from five olive groves. a total of 15 species were captured, identified, and tested for presence of x. fastidiosa by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). for three ... | 2016 | 27401111 |
| xylella fastidiosa codiro strain associated with the olive quick decline syndrome in southern italy belongs to a clonal complex of the subspecies pauca that evolved in central america. | xylella fastidiosa, a xylem-limited bacterium transmitted by xylem-fluid-feeding hemiptera insects, causes economic losses of both woody and herbaceous plant species. a xyl. fastidiosa subsp. pauca strain, namely codiro, was recently found to be associated with the 'olive quick decline syndrome' in southern italy (i.e. apulia region). recently, some xyl. fastidiosa strains intercepted in france from coffea spp. plant cuttings imported from central and south america were characterized. the introd ... | 2016 | 27902416 |
