Role of Circulifer/Neoaliturus in the Transmission of Plant Pathogens

Abstract

The beet leafhopper, Circulifer tenellus (Baker), has been mentioned in more scientific publications of the New World than any other Auchenorrhyncha species (221). This leafhopper was first described almost 100 years ago in Colorado (139) and New Mexico (6) in the USA. Its appearance in cultivated fields is invariably harmful to crops and large infestations may even prove disastrous to them. C. tenellus is by nature a desert and semi-desert leafhopper and it can migrate long distances when food becomes scarce. Therefore, it breeds in dry regions of southwestern states of the USA, causing, the most damage generally at sites adjacent to the breeding zones and can move also into northern and mideastern states and cross the Rocky Mountains. Most entomologists of the Auchenorrhychae agree that this species of leafhopper is not native to the New World but rather originated in the Old World (248, 349). Apparently, only a single species of the Circulifer complex of the Old World has penetrated the USA. However, the occurrence of this group of leafhoppers in Europe, in the Mediterranean countries and the Far East may not necessarily be followed by extensive damage to commercial crops, as in the case in western USA. This is probably the reason why this group of leafhoppers has never been studied thoroughly outside the USA.
