These findings reveal the population structure and adaptive potential of P. spumarius, Europe’s key vector of X. fastidiosa. They highlight the need for targeted surveillance of locally adapted populations and provide genomic tools to monitor vector dynamics and disease risks.

We have a new preprint!
In this study, we use #genomic data to uncover population structure and adaptive potential in the meadow #spittlebug, the main European #vector of #Xylella fastidiosa.

[Roberto Biello @rsbiello]

Migration analyses indicate limited long-distance dispersal but strong local connectivity in Italy, consistent with the rapid regional spread of X. fastidiosa. In contrast, we find complex historical gene flow within the UK, suggesting geographic or climatic barriers to movement.

We have a new pre-print!

Here we show how selection may shape behavioral traits in small isolated populations. We also show selective signatures at genes associated with reduced aggressiveness, possibly involving alternative splicing

We’re delighted to share our latest preprint from the Hogenhout lab (@SaskiaHogenhout, @JohnInnesCentre) on the molecular mechanisms of plant-aphid interactions. We show how the aphid Mp10 effector protein acts as a local anesthetic, suppressing plant perception of aphid attack.
