an association between phlebotomine sandflies and aphids in the peruvian andes. | as the composition of natural sugars in the diet of adult sandflies (diptera: psychodidae: phlebotominae) may affect the development of leishmania (kinetoplastida: trypanosomatidae) in sandfly guts, and so play an important role in the epidemiology of leishmaniasis, there is increasing interest in the sources of sugars for wild sandflies. advanced chromatography techniques have provided indirect evidence that wild sandflies feed on honeydew, a substance released by aphids (hemiptera: aphididae) ... | 1995 | 7787219 |

transmission efficiency of cucumber mosaic virus by aphids associated with virus epidemics in snap bean. | cucumber mosaic virus (cmv) is a major component of the virus complex that has become more pronounced in snap bean in the midwestern and northeastern united states since 2001. multiple-vector-transfer tests were done to estimate the cmv transmission efficiencies (p) of the main aphid species identified in commercial snap bean fields in new york and pennsylvania. the four most efficient vectors (p > 0.05) were aphis gossypii, a. glycines, acyrthosiphon pisum, and therioaphis trifolii, which were ... | 2008 | 18943413 |
modeling temporal trends in aphid vector dispersal and cucumber mosaic virus epidemics in snap bean. | cucumber mosaic virus (cmv) has become a major limiting factor in snap bean production in the great lakes region of north america, and epidemics have occurred more frequently since the soybean aphid, aphis glycines matsumura, was introduced. major aphid vectors of cmv epidemics were identified by statistically relating their temporal dispersal trends to the incidence of cmv. alates were monitored weekly using water pan traps in 74 snap bean fields in new york and pennsylvania from 2002 to 2006. ... | 2009 | 19825288 |

differential life history trait associations of aphids with nonpersistent viruses in cucurbits. | the diversity of vectors and fleeting nature of virus acquisition and transmission renders nonpersistent viruses a challenge to manage. we assessed the importance of noncolonizing versus colonizing vectors with a 2-yr survey of aphids and nonpersistent viruses on commercial pumpkin farms. we quantified aphid alightment using pan traps, while testing leaf samples with multiplex rt-pcr targeting cucumber mosaic virus (cmv), zucchini yellow mosaic virus (zymv), watermelon mosaic virus (wmv), and pa ... | 2015 | 26313961 |
natural occurrence of entomophthoroid fungi of aphid pests on medicago sativa l. in argentina. | four species of entomophthoroid fungi, pandora neoaphidis (entomophthorales: entomophthoraceae), zoophthora radicans (entomophthorales: entomophthoraceae), entomophthora planchoniana (entomophthorales: entomophthoraceae) and neozygites fresenii (neozygitales: neozygitaceae) were found to infect aphis craccivora, therioaphis trifolii, and acyrthosiphon pisum and unidentified species of acyrthosiphon on lucerne in argentina. samples were collected from five sites (ceres, rafaela, sarmiento, monte ... | 2014 | 24721275 |
characterization of resistance to multiple aphid species (hemiptera: aphididae) in medicago truncatula. | aphids are phloem-feeding insects that damage many important crops throughout the world yet, compared to plant-pathogen interactions, little is known about the mechanisms by which plants become resistant to aphids. medicago truncatula (barrel medic) is widely considered as the pre-eminent model legume for genetic and biological research and in australia is an important pasture species. six cultivars of m. truncatula with varying levels of resistance to two pests of pasture and forage legumes, th ... | 2007 | 17298680 |
independent action and contrasting phenotypes of resistance genes against spotted alfalfa aphid and bluegreen aphid in medicago truncatula. | host resistance to aphids is poorly understood. medicago truncatula, a model legume and cultivated pasture species, was used to elucidate defense against two aphid species, therioaphis trifolii f. maculata (spotted alfalfa aphid, saa) and acyrthosiphon kondoi (bluegreen aphid, bga). aphid performance and plant damage were compared between near-isogenic cultivars, mogul and borung, that differ in resistance to both aphids. analyses of aphid resistance in mogul x borung f2 plants and their progeny ... | 2007 | 17244058 |
identification of a point mutation in the ace1 gene of therioaphis trifolli maculata and detection of insecticide resistance by a diagnostic pcr-rflp assay. | aphids are important agricultural pests worldwide. their control is largely based on chemical insecticides. one species that shows important invasive abilities and host-plant-related differences is therioaphis trifolii (monell) (hemiptera: aphididae). t. trifolii maculata, also known as spotted alfalfa aphid (saa), can be very injurious to alfalfa crops in certain regions, such as in saudi arabia for effective control it is essential to diagnose and monitor the resistance mechanisms in the saa p ... | 2015 | 26278202 |
