| Research Abstract |
The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citriKuwayama, (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) was discovered in Okinawa in 1998 and apparently arrived without its natural enemies. Control of D. citriis important because this phloem-feeding pest vectors Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Ca. L. asiaticus), a phloem-residing α-proteobacterium that causes citrus greening disease or Huanglongbing. This research contributes the first steps towards evaluating entomopathogenicfungi for its potential use in an IPM program to suppress D. citripopulations
