Pickin’ up good vibrations

The meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius – the vector of Xylella fastidiosa in olive orchards in Europe – communicates by emitting vibrational signals, which may have specific roles within the mating behavior. Using artificial signals to disturb insects’ sexual...

Vectors’ control: more knowledge, less impact

Vectors’ control is an essential part of strategies against Xylella fastidiosa. Although “aggressive” measures to limit the expansion of X. fastidiosa may be necessary for new outbreaks, low-impact actions are especially desirable in areas where...
