  • Title: Variations on a theme: factors regulating interaction between Diaphorina citri and "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" vector and pathogen of citrus huanglongbing.
    Author: Hosseinzadeh S, Heck M.
    Journal: Curr Opin Insect Sci; 2023 Apr; 56():101025. PubMed ID: 36990150.
    Abstract:
    Diaphorina citri, the Asian citrus psyllid, is a vector of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the causal agent of huanglongbing (HLB), the world's most serious disease of citrus. Owing to the relevancy and urgency of HLB research, the study of transmission biology in the HLB pathosystem has been a significant area of research. The focus of this article is to summarize and synthesize recent advancements in transmission biology between D. citri and CLas to create an updated view of the research landscape and to identify avenues for future research. Variability appears to play an important role in the transmission of CLas by D. citri. We advocate that it is important to understand the genetic basis for and environmental factors contributing to CLas transmission and how that variation may be exploited to develop and improve HLB control tactics.
