"Flavescence dorée" (FD)-related phytoplasmas are widespread in alder in Germany and their transmission to grapevine represents a high risk for FD outbreaks when the primary vector, , becomes present in the future. Therefore, the potential role of the Deltocephalinae leafhopper species in transmitting FD-related phytoplasmas from alder to grapevine was studied in extensive transmission trials conducted between 2017 and 2020. The transmission capacity of autochthonous spp.

- Flavescence dorée (FD) and Bois noir (BN) are major grapevine diseases in Europe, caused by different phytoplasmas and transmitted by specific insect vectors.
- Black Alder trees are asymptomatic hosts of FD phytoplasmas and are connected to the disease's spread to grapevines.
- Germany has so far remained free from FD and its vector, although monitoring continues due to potential threats from neighboring regions, and instances of symptomatic vines have predominantly shown BN or another associated condition.
