Vector Transmission of a Plant-Pathogenic Bacterium in the Arsenophonus Clade Sharing Ecological Traits with Facultative Insect Endosymbionts
2009
Bressan, A., Semetey, O., Arneodo, J., Lherminier, J., and BoudonPadieu, E. 2009. Vector transmission of a plant-pathogenic bacterium in the Arsenophonus clade sharing ecological traits with facultative insect endosymbionts. Phytopathology 99:1289-1296. The planthopper Pentastiridius leporinus (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) is the major vector of a nonculturable plant-pathogenic γ-3 proteobacterium associated with a disease of sugar beet called syndrome “basses richesses” (SBR). The bacterium, here called SBR bacterium, belongs to the Arsenophonous clade, which includes mostly insect-associated facultative symbionts. Assays using field-collected planthopper nymphs and adults were carried out to inve…
The syndrome "basses richesses" of sugar beet in France is associated with different pathogen types and insect vectors
2007
International audience; The syndrome “basses richesses” (SBR) of sugar beet in France is associated with two phloem-restricted uncultivable bacteria: a stolbur phytoplasma and a y-3 proteobacteria. The known vector of proteobacteria is a cixiid planthopper, Pentastiridius leporinus (Hemiptera Cixiidae), formerly shown to transmit both the prokaryotes. The role of P. leporinus and of two other planthopper species, Cixius wagneri and Hyalesthes obsoletus, in spreading the two pathogens to sugar beet were compared and quantified. Because of its abundance and high infection rates with proteobacterium, P. leporinus was confirmed to be the economic vector of SBR disease. P. leporinus and C. wagne…
Insect Vectors (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) and Pathogens Associated with the Disease Syndrome “Basses Richesses” of Sugar Beet in France
2019
International audience; The syndrome “basses richesses” (SBR) is a disease of sugar beet in eastern France associated with two phloem-restricted, nonculturable plant pathogens: a stolbur phytoplasma and a γ-3 proteobacterium, here called SBR bacterium. Three planthopper (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) species were found to live near and within sugar beet fields in eastern France: Cixius wagneri, Hyalesthes obsoletus, and Pentastiridius leporinus. The role of these planthoppers in spreading the two pathogens to sugar beet was studied. Based on its abundance and high frequency of infection with the SBR bacterium, P. leporinus was considered to be the economic vector of SBR disease. C. wagneri, the prim…
