* Rosa C, Mc Carthy E, Duong K, Hoover G, Moorman G (2014) First report of the spittlebug Lepyronia quadrangularis and the leafhopper Latalus sp. as vectors of the Elm yellows associated phytoplasma, Candidatus Phytoplasma ulmi in North America. Plant Disease 98(1), 154-155. ------- In experiments. | ||
| Xylella fastidiosa (XYLEFA) | Potential vector | |
* Sanderlin, R. S., and R. A. Melanson (2010) Insect transmission of Xylella fastidiosa to pecan. Plant Disease 94, 465-470. ------- Pecan bacterial leaf scorch. In experiments where Lepyronia quadrangularis specimens were caged on pecan trees, one out of six trees tested with two specimens became infected. The authors conclude that L. quadrangularis could be an occasional vector. | ||
