“…Consequently, we employed a high-power vacuum insect sampler (D-Vac Vacuum Insect Net -Model 24, Rincon-Vitova Insectaries, Ventura, California) to evaluate densities of D. citri populations. Thomas (2012) and Monzo et al (2015) proved that this method is particularly effective for D. citri. Our sampling device had an air flow capacity of 21.23 m 3 /min at the collection head with a 3.75 H.P engine.…”

“…Presence and relative abundance of adult ACP can be ascertained with stem-tap samples, yellow sticky traps, vacuum samples per unit of time, suction traps, sweep net samples, visual searches per unit of time, and samples of flush shoots or pairs of mature leaves (Aubert & Quilici, 1988;S etamou et al, 2008;Hall & Hentz, 2010;Thomas, 2012). The choice of a sampling method in-part depends on the age of plants being sampled as well as the reason for sampling.…”

The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), is an important pest of citrus because it transmits phloem-limited bacteria [Candidatus Liberibacter spp., notably Ca. L. asiaticus (LAS)] associated with huanglongbing (HLB; citrus greening disease), currently considered the world's most serious disease of citrus. Asian citrus psyllid transmits LAS in a persistent manner and, although the rate of LAS transmission by ACP individuals usually is low, HLB can spread rapidly in a citrus grove and the geographic range of the disease is expanding, threatening citrus industries in new areas. Intensive chemical control of ACP is the primary management strategy currently advocated for HLB, but this strategy is costly, unsustainable, and generally ineffective. The scientific community is searching aggressively for solutions to HLB on many fronts, but it could still be years before solutions are found and implemented. Plant resistance to LAS is one area of research being pursued, whereby traits that confer resistance are identified and incorporated into citrus germplasm through conventional or transgenic methods. It remains to be seen if a solution to HLB can be found that specifically targets ACP, but research on ACP has been stepped up in a number of areas, notably on ACP-LAS-plant interactions, on host plant resistance to ACP, and on molecular methods of silencing ACP genes to induce mortality or to block its ability to transmit HLB-causing bacteria. Advancements in these and other research areas may depend greatly on a better understanding of basic ACP biology and vector-pathogen-host plant interactions at the molecular, cellular, and community levels. Here, we present an updated review of ACP and HLB with an emphasis on the problem in Florida.

“…For the implementation of an effective HLB management programme based on D. citri control measures, an accurate detection of the psyllid's presence is more important than an accurate estimate of its populations; this requires the use of the most efficient and effective monitoring method. Several D. citri population monitoring methods including tap sampling (Hall et al., ), visual observation (Sétamou et al., ), the use of yellow sticky cards (Hall et al., ), vacuum and suction sampling (Monzo et al., ; Thomas, ) were studied, but there has been no consensus as to which sampling method is the best for detecting psyllids at low populations densities. This is an important consideration because sampling efficiency and precision can be affected by D. citri population densities (Monzo et al., ).…”
