Abstract

The most common insect in Chilean phytoplasma-infected vineyards, belonging to the family Cicadellidae, is Paratanus exitiosus (Beamer). This leafhopper was proved to be able to transmit the 16SrIII-J phytoplasma to periwinkle plants. In the present work we demonstrate that P. exitiosus transmits the same phytoplasma to grapevine plants too.
