Vectors of Plant Parasites of the Genus Phytomonas (Protozoa, Zoomastigophorea, Kinetoplastida)

  • Chapter
Advances in Disease Vector Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Disease Vector Research ((VECTOR,volume 10))

Abstract

The occurrence of flagellated protozoa as internal parasites in plants was first reported by Lafont in 1909 who found them in the latex of Euphorbia pilulifera in Mauritius (78). From the start, hemipterans were suspected of transmitting these plant parasites. However, as described in this chapter, only in a few instances the vector role of phytophagous bugs has been experimentally evidenced.
