Spread of Xylella fastidiosa in Majorca Island Agroecosystems: Interaction Between Insect Vectors, Woody Hosts and Bacterial Subspecies

Philaenus spumarius is the main vector of Xylella fastidiosa in Majorca, maintaining high infectivity on wild hosts and facilitating pathogen spread in almonds and vineyards.

The preprint of my second first-author paper (with
@nikcunniffe.bsky.social) is out! Read to find out how virus-resistant companion plants can control spread of non-persistently transmitted plant viruses: www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/10.31220...
@camplantsci.bsky.social @caiuscollege.bsky.social

Diagram of the compartments in my mathematical disease model and the rates at which individuals flow between them. Compartments are healthy plants, infected plants, resistant (companion plants), un-infective aphids and infective aphids.
