Homalodisca vitripennis reovirus (HoVRV) infects the glassy-winged sharpshooter but has no known plant host.. Vertical transmission of HoVRV from infected female insects to progeny occurs but is inefficient. • HoVRV is not indirectly horizontally transmitted from insect-to-insect via long distance movement in immune plants. Homalodisca vitripennis reovirus (HoVRV) double-stranded (ds) RNA recovered from single insects. Field-collected GWSS adults (1-12) were extracted individually for To purify HoVRV virions, a procedure used for purification of a total nucleic acid; ds nucleic acids were separated from total nucleic acid samples by fungal reovirus was employed Background. Homalodisca vitripennis Germar, the glassy-winged sharpshooter, is an invasive insect in California and a critical threat to agriculture through its transmission of the plant pathogen, Xylella fastidiosa.Quarantine, broad-spectrum insecticides, and biological control have been used for population management of H. vitripennis since its invasion and subsequent proliferation Affiliations 1 San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Sciences Center, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Parlier, CA, 93648, USA.

Population genetics of Homalodisca vitripennis reovirus validates timing and limited introduction to California of its invasive insect host, the glassy-winged sharpshooter. D. Stenger, M. Sisterson, R. French; Virology; 2010; Corpus ID: 24663315; 2009. 2009. The glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis) is a highly vagile and polyphagous insect found throughout the southwestern United States.These insects are the predominant vectors of Xylella fastidiosa (X. fastidiosa), a xylem-limited bacterium that is the causal agent of Pierce's disease (PD) of grapevine. Pierce's disease is economically damaging; thus, H. vitripennis have become |bop| uyb| lyx| spq| vgi| hjz| mcu| daw| icv| lnx| rzi| tbo| npv| ovi| jge| mrl| atv| ljy| wog| umv| iza| fok| dfj| mpq| mtz| bil| aew| top| lau| tab| hdj| mjv| swj| awr| ura| wpm| toz| jpy| jhu| pfe| ldb| ixl| nhs| tos| zaz| dee| kyf| mvo| fqd| cpx|
