Inferring Tripartite Associations of Vector-Borne Plant Pathogens Using a Next-Generation Sequencing Approach by Ava M. Gabrys, Christopher H. Dietrich, Valeria Trivellone

“…Despite the importance of documenting associations between phytoplasmas, their insect vectors, and plant hosts to prevent disease outbreaks, such knowledge is currently highly incomplete and largely neglects the diversity of the system in natural areas. Here, we used anchored hybrid enrichment (AHE) to recover the DNA of five plant genes (<i>rbcL</i>, <i>matK</i>, <i>ITS1</i>, <i>ITS2</i>, and <i>trnH-psbA</i>) in 58 phloem-feeding leafhoppers from around the world that had previously tested positive for phytoplasma infection. …”
