- Interrelationship between two variants of the Circulifer tenellus complex and Spiroplasma citri: the causal agent of stubborn diseasePublication . D'Almeida, Margarida Lynette S. Solano; Raccah, Benjamim; Klein, MeirStubborn disease causes important economic lesses in most of the citrus growing regions, namely in the Mediterrranean area. Its causal agent is a mycoplasma-like-organism (MLO), Spiroplasma citri, and its vectors are leafhoppers of the Circulifer/Neoaliturus complex. Two variants of the Circulifer tenellus complex were found in "stubborn" affected areas, in Israel, Circulifer tenellus-A on Atriplex halirnus and Circulifer tenellus-P on Portulaca oleracea, in the Jordan Valley and coastal plain, respectively.
