Most plant viruses are absolutely dependent on a vector for plant-to-plant spread. Although
a number of different types of organisms are vectors for different plant viruses, phloem …

SUMMARY A majority of the plant-infecting viruses and many of the animal-infecting viruses
are dependent upon arthropod vectors for transmission between hosts and/or as alternative …

▪ Abstract In this article we consider the role of epidemiological factors and transmission
processes of insect-vectored viruses on the effectiveness of insecticides in a disease …

The hoppers, as we refer collectively to the leaiboppers, planthoppers, and their
Auchenorrhyncha relatives, were the first insects proven to be vectors of plant viruses. In …

The external morphology of two cicadelline species, Versigonalia ruficauda (Walker,
1851)(Cicadellini) and Tretogonia cribrata Melichar, 1926 (Proconiini), is analyzed. The …

Half of all species in the order Hemiptera (suborders Homoptera and Heteroptera) are
phytophagous, representing a diverse and agriculturally important group. However, despite …

Phytophagous insects have a much higher nitrogen and phosphorus content than their host
plants, an elemental mismatch that places inherent constraints on meeting nutritional …

Feeding‐induced plant resistance is a well‐documented phenomenon for leaf‐chewing
insects. Furthermore, feeding‐induced resistance provides the mechanistic basis for many …

Insect associations with fungi are common and may be casual or highly specific and
obligate. For example, more than 40 fungal species are as-sociated with the coffee berry …

Behavioral manipulation (BM) is a multimodal control approach based on the interference
with the stimuli mediating insect perception and interaction with the surroundings. BM could …
