Huanglongbing, a devastating citrus disease, is associated with 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', 'Ca. L. africanus' or 'Ca L. americanus', bacteria transmitted by the psylloids Diaphorina citri and Trioza erytreae. Using a DNA-Seq and metabarcode sequencing integrated approach, the first catalogue of endosymbionts associated with T. erytreae from the Iberian Peninsula, South Africa and African Islands, was ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-06-09; Huanglongbing is a highly destructive citrus disease associated with “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” (Las), a phloem−limited and non-culturable bacterium, naturally transmitted by the psyllid Diaphorina citri. Although diverse approaches have been used to understand the molecular mechanisms involved...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-03-02; H2020 European Research Council; Fundo de Defesa da Citricultura; Huanglongbing (HLB) is a destructive disease, associated with psyllid-transmitted phloem-restricted pathogenic bacteria, which is seriously endangering citriculture worldwide. It affects all citrus species and cultivars regardless of the ...
Little is known concerning novel interactions between species that typically interact in their native range but, as a consequence of human activity, are also interacting out of their original distribution under new ecological conditions. Objective: We investigate the interaction between the orange tree and wild boar, both of which share Asian origins and have been introduced to the Americas (i.e. the overseas)....
For four decades, an influential hypothesis has posited that competition for food resources between microbes and vertebrates selects for microbes to alter these resources in ways that make them unpalatable to vertebrates. We chose an understudied cross kingdom interaction to experimentally evaluate the effect of fruit infection by fungi on both vertebrate (mammals and birds) fruit preferences and on ecologicall...
