Diffusion of the Nearctic leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus Ball in Europe: a consequence of human trading activity

Abstract: Scaphoideus titanus Ball is a Nearctic leafhopper that was introduced for the first time in Europe probably at the beginning of the 20th century. In Europe, this species is a specialist on cultivated grapevines and is of great economic importance as the vector of Flavescence dorée (FD), a Grapevine Yellows disease caused by Candidatus Phytoplasma vitis. The Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was employed to obtain genetic information about the diffusion and the structure of S. titanus population… Show more

“…For example, Dollet et al (2009) refer to grasses and palm trees imported from Florida for new golf courses in Mexico that may have harbored vector species in the 1980s when LYD first appeared in Mexico before spreading to Central America. Other crops have a similar history of human-aided spread of phytoplasma diseases (Bertin et al, 2007). Human activity is playing an increasingly important role in the spread of plant diseases globally (Burdon et al, 2006).…”

“…Among the different nuclear marker technologies, that are currently available for monitoring genetic diversity, RAPD represent a rapid, simple, user-friendly and cost-effective tool to assess insect populations [2,9,32,37,40,46]. This technique can scan the entire genome of the insects and has been explored for quick and effective analyses [6,7,10,11,22,29,31,33,50]. Little information on genetic variability within and among populations of TMB has been obtained so far.…”

“…Since then other Auchenorrhyncha species from North America or East Asia have been introduced mainly to Central or Southern Europe benefi ting from international trade of plants. In the case of Scaphoideus titanus it seems that this species had a fi rst ancient introduction followed by multiple colonization events (Bertin et al 2007). …”
