doi:10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb15050052

Abstract

Abstract: Phytoplasmas are plant pathogenic bacteria which are transmitted through phloem-feeding insects of the order Hemiptera including leafhoppers, planthoppers, psyllids and stink bugs, and can cause more than 1000 plant species diseases around the world. Phytoplasmal diseases have been extensively studied due to their economic importance. This paper reviewed the latest advances on transmission and epidemic of phytoplasmal disease, summarized the approaches and strategies of controlling phytoplasmal disease, analyzed the transmission process and its influencing factors, the molecular mechanism of the three-way interaction between phytoplasmas, plant host and insect vector, epidemiological elements in phytoplasmal disease and its influencing factors. Furthermore, the study pointed out the problems in current researches and prospected future perspectives of phytoplasmal disease.
