Vector within-host feeding preference mediates transmission of a heterogeneously distributed pathogen
2010-06-01
Abstract excerpt
1. Ecological theory predicts that vector preference for certain host species or discrimination between infected versus uninfected hosts impacts disease incidence. However, little information exists on the extent to which vector within-host feeding preference mediates transmission. This may be particularly important for plant pathogens, such as sharpshooter transmission of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, which a...
