Kaolin particle films disrupt landing, settling behavior and feeding of Trioza ...
Félix-Oliveira, Diogo; Benhadi-Marín, Jacinto; Neto, Joana; Sanz, Lorena; Garzo, Elisa; Aguiar, Ana; Fereres, Alberto; Pereira, J.A.BACKGROUND The citrus greening disease or Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most devastating disease of citrus crops. Trioza erytreae is a vector of HLB. Since its introduction in Europe, the insect reached the northern region of Spain and the southern region of Portugal, threatening relevant citrus production areas. Limiting the spread of HLB vectors is mandatory to prevent this disease. In this work, we assessed the...
Host plant preference of Trioza erytreae on lemon and bitter orange plants
Benhadi-Marín, Jacinto; Garzo, Elisa; Moreno, Aránzazu; Pereira, J.A.; Fereres, AlbertoTrioza erytreae, the African citrus psyllid, is a vector of Candidatus Liberibacter spp., the causal agent of the citrus greening disease or Huanglongbing (HLB).

The patterns of host preference and feeding behaviour largely depend on olfactory cues. Understanding these patterns is cruc...
