ALTERNATION OF HOST PLANTS AS A SURVIVAL MECHANISM OF LEAFHOPPERS DILOBOPTERUS COSTALIMAI AND ONCOMETOPIA FACIALIS (HEMIPTERA: CICADELLIDAE), VECTORS OF THE CITRUS VARIEGATED CHLOROSIS (CVC)

Alternation of host plants as a survival mechanism of leafhoppers Dilobopterus costalimai and Oncometopia facialis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), vectors of the Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC)

Dilobopterus costalimai (Young) and Oncometopia facialis (Signoret) are two of the most important species of citrus leafhoppers, vectors of bacterium Xylella fastidiosa which causes the Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC) disease.To develop a rearing technique for these species under laboratory conditions, the egg laying preference and nymph developm

catena-Poly[[[triaqua[3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)phthalato-κO2]manganese(II)]-μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ2N:N′] 4,4′-bipyridine monosolvate dihydrate]

In the title compound, {[Mn(C15H8O7)(C10H8N2)(H2O)3]·C10H8N2·2H2O}n, the bridging mode of the coordinating 4,4′-bipyridine ligands leads to the formation of polymeric zigzag chains parallel to [0-11].The chains are separated by 4,4′-bipyridine and water solvent molecules.Within a chain, the MnII atom is six-coordinated by two
