Effect of <i>Candidatus</i> Liberibacter asiaticus infection on susceptibility of Asian citrus psyllid, <i>Diaphorina citri</i>, to selected insecticides

Abstract

Susceptibility of ACP to selected insecticides from five major chemistries was greater in Las-infected than in uninfected ACP. The lower total protein content and reduced general esterase activity in Las-infected than in uninfected ACP may partly explain the observed higher insecticide susceptibility of Las-infected ACP.
