Demonstrates CLso transmission from Lycium berlandieri to Capsicum annuum, indicating agricultural threats.
Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CLso) transmission by Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc) (Hemiptera: Triozidae) impacts solanaceous crops. CLso was detected in Berlandier’s wolfberry ( Lycium berlandieri Dunal; Solanaceae) leaf and branch tissues, and in B . cockerelli adults (43.75 %, n = 80) developing from this plant in the field in northeastern Mexico, confirming CLso acquisition by B . cockerelli from wolfberry. Symptoms and molecular detection indicated that B . cockerelli transmits CLso from wolfberry to chili pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.; Solanaceae). Lycium berlandieri is a wild reservoir of B . cockerelli and CLso. Results are consistent with greenhouse trials and represent the first confirmation of B . cockerelli full development on L. berlandieri in the field.
