Abstract excerpt
The Nearctic leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus Ball is the vector of "Flavescence dorée" phytoplasma (FDp) in European vineyards. We studied the genetic diversity and structure of S. titanus populations in France and of the FDp they carried. A total of 621 S. titanus individuals, sampled in 24 FDp-infected and uninfected vineyards, were genotyped using seven polymorphic microsatellite loci. The mean observed...
