Leafhopper identification videos (click here) Distribution Erythroneura ziczac is found throughout the eastern and mid-west United States as well as Southern Canada (Varela et al. 2013). It has been documented as a pest of grape, apple, Boston ivy, and Virginia creeper vines (Wells and Cone 1989).
Nupsyllid project A federal NIFA-CAPS grant was awarded to researchers in Florida, California, Texas and Arizona to develop a Nupsyllid. The goal of this research is to replace the wild type Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) insect vector with a population that is unable to transmit CLas.
Regenerating rooted plant and plantlet In citrus, the process of genetic engineering (cutting and pasting new information into the citrus genome) has been used experimentally to protect against citrus tristeza virus (CTV) and canker diseases, provide resistance to certain insects, create dwarf varie...
Living organisms, including plants, have many cells. Each cell has the genetic information to dictate the way the plant looks, tastes and feels. It also determines whether plants can be infected by pathogens that cause diseases, like Huanglongbing (HLB) also known as citrus greening.

The bacterial disease, Huanglongbing (HLB), is potentially crippling to U.S. citrus. The Asian citrus psyllid, which spreads the bacterium, is now present in all U.S. citrus-producing states.
The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri, and the devastating bacterium Candidatus liberibacter asiaticus (Clas) that it vectors that causes huanglongbing (HLB) disease, have become established in most of the citrus producing regions of the United States.
The outreach group has prepared resources available to all who wish to learn more about the HLB issue or would like to be enabled to give presentations regarding issues facing the citrus growing community.
