The transmission of insect-borne plant pathogens, including viruses, bacteria,
phytoplasmas, and fungi depends upon the abundance and behavior of their vectors. These …

Vector‐borne pathogens and parasites can induce changes in the phenotypes of their hosts
that influence the frequency and nature of host–vector interactions and hence transmission …

Parasites and infectious diseases are everywhere and represent some of the most potent
forces sha** the natural world. They affect almost every aspect imaginable in the life of …

Pathogens and parasites can induce changes in host or vector behavior that enhance their
transmission. In plant systems, such effects are largely restricted to vectors, because they …

Many taxa of parasites modify the behavior of their hosts in ways that improve their
probability of transmission. Regardless of its evolutionary origins or underlying mechanisms …

Previous studies have shown that vector-borne pathogens can alter the phenotypes of their
hosts and vectors in ways that influence the frequency and nature of interactions between …

A pathogen may cause infected plants to promote the performance of its transmitting vector,
which accelerates the spread of the pathogen. This positive effect of a pathogen on its vector …

Flavescence dorée is a serious disease for European vine growers. Indeed, Flavescence
dorée causes yield losses and lower grape quality. As a consequence, Flavescence dorée …

Vector infection by some animal-infecting parasites results in altered feeding that enhances
transmission. Modification of vector behavior is of broad adaptive significance, as parasite …

The life cycle of Leishmania alternates between two main morphological forms: intracellular
amastigotes in the mammalian host and motile promastigotes in the sand fly vector. Several …
