“…Although HAD has been recorded from other Miridae (Hereward, Walter, Debarro, Lowe, & Riginos, 2013), no evidence of HAD has been shown in Lygus species despite the detection of population-level differences based on geography (Burange, Roehrdanz, & Boetel, 2012;Zhou, Kandemir, Walsh, Zalom, & Lavine, 2012). Lygus have one to three generations per year depending on the temperature, where southern populations in warmer climates are multivoltine and northern populations in cooler climates tend to be univoltine (Cárcamo et al, 2002;Haye et al, 2013). The Canadian prairies ecosystem is a major agricultural growing region where Lygus is an economically relevant pest on several field crops, such as canola, alfalfa, and mustard.…”
