Xf4 highlights: a model to control the Xylella vector population

ByAna_Montero

During the  4th European Conference on Xylella fastidiosa, Alberto Fereres from ICA_CSIC presented the study in which researchers make the first steps for a model to calculate the optimum timing for applying control actions against Philaenus spumarius nymphs, thus hindering the X. fastidiosa spread. The spittlebug P. spumarius is the primary vector of X. fastidiosa in Europe, enabling the pathogen to propagate from sick to healthy plants. The publication…

We have setup the Vector adquisition experiment with Philaenus spumarius thanks to the expertise of Dr. Alberto Fereres @VectoresCSIC.

We will characterize which xylem inhabiting bacteria are able to colonize and stablish in the foregut of X. fastidiosa insect vectors. We are testing four different host plants.

We will explore the natural resistance (non-hosts) or tolerance to X. fastidiosa in main forestry species and plants from the natural landscape of affected outbreaks areas in Spain.
