Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri, is an insect pest
which transmits a bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus
(CLas), primarily through feeding in newly emergent foliage of
citrus trees. This pathogen causes a disease known as Huanglongbing
(HLB), or citrus greening, which has become the most debilitating
and intractable disease in citrus crops. This book, written by a
team of experts on the Asian citrus psyllid, gathers together
everything currently known about the biology and ecology of this
important pest species, examines the transmission and acquisition
processes of the pathogen, and looks at current management
practices and their effectiveness. The potential for new,
innovative management techniques are also described, along with the
economic implications of managing this rapidly establishing
disease. This book: Covers all aspects of Asian citrus psyllid
biology and ecology for the first time in one place. Examines new,
innovative management practices and assesses their effectiveness.
Discusses the vector-pathogen relationship in detail. Explains the
economics of controlling this devastating pest. This title is
essential reading for all researchers involved in the management
and control of Asian citrus psyllid, extension agents, and pest
management consultants. It will also be of great use to graduate
students in applied entomology and related disciplines.
