Context-dependent transmission of a generalist plant pathogen: host species and pathogen strain mediate insect vector competence
2009-05-01
Abstract excerpt
The specificity of pathogen-vector-host interactions is an important element of disease epidemiology. For generalist pathogens, different pathogen strains, vector species, or host species may all contribute to variability in disease incidence. One such pathogen is Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al., a xylem-limited bacterium that infects dozens of crop, ornamental, and native plants in the USA. This pathogen also has...
