Study on the transmission of coconut Lethal Yellowing in Ghana

Abstract: Research on the Cape Saint Paul Wilt Disease (CSPWD) vector in Ghana began from 1990 (1990-1997; 2002-2004) and did not give convincing results. From July 2005, new test standards were applied: shading, daily collections and releasing of insects at the less hot hours and use of various sizes of cages and test plants. More than 70,000 Myndus. adiopodoumeensis were introduced in cage for 28 months (520 adults/seedling/month). Controls in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on the five coconut of this Myndus cage a… Show more

“…Compounding the impact of this group of diseases, the coconut industry is often poorly resourced for carrying out phytoplasma research. In many parts of the world where LYDs occur, research is piecemeal usually due to the intermittent funding inputs through foreign aid (Baudouin et al, 2009; Philippe et al, 2009). …”

“…In Florida, the planthopper Haplaxius crudus (Van Duzee) (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) is known as a vector of the16S rIV phytoplasmas associated with LY (Howard et al ., ). Despite several years of research, the vectors of other lethal palm declines in East and West Africa remain unknown (Mpunami et al ., ; Philippe et al ., ). Moreover, some of the research has been limited to testing insects for the presence of pathogens (Mpunami et al ., ).…”

“…Known vectors of phytoplasmas are in the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, mostly families Cixiidae and Cicadellidae (subfamily Deltocephalinae). Derbidae and Flatidae also have been suggested as possible vectors (Mpunami et al 2000 , Clair et al 2001 , Wilson 2005 , Weintraub & Beanland 2006 , Philippe et al 2007 , Philippe et al 2009 , Lee & Wilson 2010 , Rodrigues et al 2010 , Rajan 2013 , Halbert et al 2014 ).…”
