Meadow spittlebug transmits Xylella fastidiosa in fall too
New data on the vector presented at the XF-ACTORS conference
28 Aprile 2021
BRUXELLES, 28 APR - The meadow spittlebug can
transmit the Xylella fastidiosa bacterium from diseased olive
trees to healthy ones throughout its whole adult life, from
spring to autumn, according to research.
The results were presented at the final conference of the
EU-funded XF-ACTORS project, which was entirely dedicated to
Xylella fastidiosa.

transmission but is present in large numbers on plants, while in
autumn it is more efficient but less attracted to olive trees,
