Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) increasingly threaten global food security and public
health. Despite technological breakthroughs, we are losing the battle with (re) emerging …

The association between insect herbivores and vascular plants represents one of the
greatest success stories in terrestrial evolution. Specific mechanisms generating diversity in …

Within the 16SrII phytoplasma group, subgroups A–X have been classified based on
restriction fragment length polymorphism of their 16S rRNA gene, and two species have …

Because of their frequency, abundance, and unique morphological and biological traits, the
Dryinidae (pincer wasps) are among the most important parasitoids of nymphs and adults of …

Aims In this study, binding between the immunodominant membrane protein Imp of the
16SrV‐D phytoplasma associated with Flavescence dorée disease (FD‐Dp) and insect …

The flavescence dorée phytoplasma undergoes a propagative cycle in its insect vectors by
first interacting with the insect cell surfaces, primarily in the midgut lumen and subsequently …

Simple Summary Phytoplasmas are bacteria transmitted by insects that cause severe
diseases in many plants, including crops, worldwide. Most phytoplasma research focuses on …

Abstract Phytoplasmas (Mollicutes, Acholeplasmataceae), vector‐borne obligate bacterial
plant parasites, infect nearly 1,000 plant species and unknown numbers of insects, mainly …

Phytoplasmas are obligate transkingdom bacterial parasites that infect a variety of plant
species and replicate in phloem-feeding insects in the order Hemiptera, mainly leafhoppers …

The first comprehensive timetree is presented for phytoplasmas, a diverse group of obligate
intracellular bacteria restricted to phloem sieve elements of vascular plants and tissues of …
