Abstract: The glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS), Homalodisca vitripennis, is an important vector of Xylella fastidiosa, the causal agent of Pierce’s disease of grapevine. GWSS control relies mainly on insecticides; therefore, an alternative method, such as vibrational mating… read more here.

Abstract: Paratransgenic control of pests can be an alternative to chemical control, which is associated with environmental contamination, and higher input cost. We have recently developed paratransgenic control strategy to block transmission of the Pierce's disease… read more here.
