Temperature mediates vector transmission efficiency: inoculum supply and plant infection dynamics
2009-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Climate, particularly environmental temperature, frequently plays an important role in disease epidemiology. This study investigated the role of environmental temperature on transmission of the generalist plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa by its leafhopper vectors. In this system temperature is known to influence both vector performance and feeding rate, yet the implications for pathogen transmission have not been...
