“…Recently, it has been demonstrated how both putative species of the C. pruni complex can transmit and spread the pathogen ( Marie-Jeanne et al 2020 ). Over the past two decades, ESFY has been detected in most southern and central European countries, Middle East and North Africa ( Sertkaya et al 2005 , Marcone et al 2010 , Ben Khalifa et al 2011 , Cieślińska 2011 , Tedeschi et al 2013 , Allahverdi et al 2014 , Valasevich and Schneider 2016 , Warabieda et al 2017 , Andrianjaka-Camps et al 2018 , Jarausch et al 2019 , Riedle-Bauer et al 2019b ), thus being one of the most serious pests in European stone fruit production and a potential threat for fruit crops worldwide, causing important economic damage.…”

Psyllids (superfamily Psylloidea), also known as jumping plant lice, are a group of plant-sap sucking Hemiptera having significant pest status for crops, forest trees and ornamental plants. Only seven species of psyllids have been recorded in Luxembourg so far. An additional group of seven species has been recorded exclusively, based on the findings of their galls or specific plant deformations; but no mention exists in literature on the actual collection of the inducing insect in Luxembourg. To fill this knowledge gap, field collections were carried out during the years 2019-2020. In addition, samples from 1999-2000 stored in the wet collection of the Musée National d’Histoire Naturelle de Luxembourg were studied. This research, in combination with information coming from literature, allowed us to list 48 species of the families Aphalaridae (5 species), Liviidae (5), Psyllidae (24) and Triozidae (14), though the presence of one species within the last family (Trioza rhamni) needs to be confirmed. Brief information on geographical distribution, biology and (if available) illustrations of diagnostic characters are provided on the psyllid species detected in Luxembourg so far.

During 2010-2013 and 2016, shoot samples were collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic 85 sour cherry and 80 sweet cherry trees grown in 16 orchards located in major cherry cultivation areas in Central and Western Poland. Some sour cherry trees showed shoot proliferation, whereas dieback symptoms and leaf roll and yellowing were observed on some sweet cherry trees. The universal phytoplasma-specific primer pairs P1 and P7 derived from the ribosomal sequence within the 16S and 23S rRNA gene sequences and intergenic spacer region were used in direct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by universal primers F1/B6 and primers R16(I)F1/R1 and R16(X)F1/R1 specific for 16SrI and 16SrX groups, respectively. Phytoplasmas were detected in two sweet cherry ('Trzebnica' and 'Kordia II.14') and one sour cherry ('cherry XVI.12') trees. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses conducted after digestion of F1/B6 products (~1.65 kb) with HhaI, RsaI, SspI and MseI enzymes indicated that sweet cherry trees were infected with 'Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum' (16SrX-B). The restriction profiles for sour 'cherry XVI.12' sample were indistinguishable from those of the reference strain AY-1 of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris' (16SrI-B). Multilocus sequence analysis of 16S DNA plus spacer region, secY and ribosomal protein (rp) operons confirmed the genetic diversity of phytoplasmas infecting cherry trees and showed the closest relationships 'Trzebnica' and 'Kordia II.14' isolates found in sweet cherry trees to the reference strains of 'Ca. Ph. prunorum' (16SrX-B). Depending on analysed sequenced region, the phytoplasma infecting sour 'cherry XVI.12' revealed close genetic relationship to phytoplasmas assigned to the different subgroups of aster yellows group (16SrI). SecY gene was the more informative marker for finer differentiation of the strains of phytoplasmas within 16SrI group and showed the highest genetic similarity of 'cherry XVI.12' isolate with 'Ca. Ph. asteris'-related strains.

“…We found that the two major psyllid pests were C. melanoneura and C. pruni in a plantation of a key apricot-growing area in Hungary (northern Hungary), in spring 2020. They were reported several times as prominent in apricot orchards in central Europe ( Fialová et al 2004 , Jarausch et al 2009 , Lethmayer et al 2011 , Warabieda et al 2018 , Mergenthaler et al 2017 , Riedle-Bauer et al 2019 ). With species having so similar phenology, our finding has been predictable.…”

Cacopsylla pruni (Hemiptera, Psyllidae) in an apricot orchard is more attracted to white sticky traps dependent on host phenology

The colour preference of the plum psyllid, Cacopsylla pruni (Hemiptera, Psyllidae), is yet poorly studied. This species is the only known vector of the ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum’, the agent of European stone fruit yellows (ESFY), a devastating disease of several cultivated Prunus species in Europe. As ESFY is still uncurable, vector control, thus vector monitoring, is pivotal to protect these trees. Cacopsylla pruni is a univoltine, host-shelter-alternating species; overwintered adults migrate from conifer to wild or cultivated Prunus species (family Rosaceae) in late winter-early spring. To select the most effective colour indicating the arrivals of the immigrants, yellow, fluorescent yellow, white, red and transparent sticky traps were deployed in an apricot orchard in Hungary. The two most abundant species in sticky traps were C. pruni and C. melanoneura. Catches of white traps were significantly biased towards C. pruni as compared to C. melanoneura specimens. Moreover, white sticky traps were better at catching plum psyllids than the other colours. Attraction to white was strongest when immigrants from shelter plants kept arriving in the orchard, coinciding with the blooming principal phenophase of apricot trees. When the host flowering growth stage was over, catches of C. pruni in white traps declined sharply to the level of yellow traps that was highest during this post-blooming period. We recommended white sticky traps for promptly monitoring C. pruni in apricot orchards because it is more potent and more selective than yellow ones during the critically important early flowering interval.
