Potato ( L.) is an important food crop worldwide. As the demand for fresh and processed potato products is increasing globally, there is a need to manage and control devastating diseases such as zebra chip (ZC). ZC disease causes major yield losses in many potato-growing regions and is associated with the fastidious, phloem-limited bacterium Liberibacter solanacearum (Lso) that is vectored by the potato-tomato psyllid ( Šulc). Current management measures for ZC disease mainly focus on chemical control and integrated pest management strategies of the psyllid vector to limit the spread of Lso, however, they add to the costs of potato production. Identification and deployment of Lso and/or the psyllid resistant cultivars, in combination with integrated pest management, may provide a sustainable long-term strategy to control ZC. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the ZC disease, epidemiology, current management strategies, and potential new approaches to manage ZC disease in the future.

First evidence of circulation of multiple arboviruses in Algeria.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis
November 2024
Institut Pasteur, Université Paris Cité, Arboviruses and InsectVectors, Paris, France.
Article Synopsis
- Algeria is facing increased health risks from West Nile Virus (WNV) and the invasive Aedes albopictus mosquito, prompting a study to enhance mosquito-borne pathogen surveillance using advanced molecular techniques.
- Researchers utilized a combination of high-throughput chip technology to identify arboviruses in mosquitoes and immunologic methods for serological analysis in local animal populations, conducting studies in both a coastal humid region and a Saharan desert area.
- The study discovered five arboviruses in Algeria for the first time, with a significant presence of flavivirus antibodies in equids and poultry, highlighting the importance of improved surveillance to manage future outbreaks effectively.
Advancing equine genomics: the development of a high density Axiom_Ashwa SNP chip for Indian horses and ponies.

Equine Production Campus, ICAR-National Research Centre on Equines, Bikaner, Rajasthan, 334 001, India.
Article Synopsis
- * The development of the Axiom_Ashwa SNP array, with 613,950 SNPs, aims to enhance genetic analysis and support conservation efforts by accurately genotyping both indigenous and Thoroughbred horses.
- * Linkage disequilibrium analysis reveals that Indian breeds have lower genetic diversity compared to exotic breeds, highlighting the need for immediate conservation measures to protect these valuable equine resources.
Unbinding the bindweed psyllid (Bactericera maculipennis [Hemiptera: Triozidae]) from its Convolvulus host exposes it to a novel bacterial symbiont.
Environ Entomol

Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, 900 University Ave, Riverside, CA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Psyllids, specifically Bactericera maculipennis, are herbivores that typically feed on specific host plants, primarily bindweeds, but recent studies suggest they may have expanded their diet to include Solanum umbelliferum.
- Research showed that B. maculipennis develops faster on S. umbelliferum compared to its traditional host, Convolvulus arvensis, and individuals were found directly on S. umbelliferum plants.
- Furthermore, many of the collected psyllids were infected with a plant pathogen, indicating that the interaction between B. maculipennis and S. umbelliferum could facilitate the exchange of different pathogen haplotypes, impacting plant health
Insights into and Liberibacter solanacearum interaction: a tissue-specific transcriptomic approach.

The tomato-potato psyllid, (Šulc), belonging to the Hemiptera order, is an insect pest of solanaceous crops and vectors a fastidious bacterium, Liberibacter solanacearum (Lso), the presumptive causal agent of zebra chip and vein greening diseases in potatoes and tomatoes, respectively. The genome of has been sequenced recently, providing new avenues to elucidate mechanistic insights into pathogenesis in vegetable crops. In this study, we performed RNA-sequencing of the critical psyllid organs (salivary glands and ovaries) involved in Lso pathology and transmission to host plants.

The quality and authenticity of milk are of paramount importance. Cow milk is more allergenic and less nutritious than ewe, goat, or donkey milk, which are often adulterated with cow milk due to their seasonal availability and higher prices. In this work, a silicon photonic dipstick sensor accommodating two U-shaped Mach-Zehnder Interferometers (MZIs) was employed for the label-free detection of the adulteration of ewe, goat, and donkey milk with cow milk.
