The unexpected Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) outbreak in Europe has led to aggressive management of the disease in recent years. As there is no cure for infected plants, management of vector populations is mandatory to contain the spread of Xf in infected areas. We aimed to assess the suitability of plant species commonly used as cover crops for the population growth of Philaenus spumarius L. (Aphrophoridae). Thus, we conducted a series of no-choice and multiple-choice assays to assess the oviposition preference of P. spumarius adults as well as the development and mortality rate of nymphs on 10 candidate plant species under laboratory and semi-field conditions. Our results will help to design ecological infrastructures, including a pull-push strategy for effective management of Xf vectors in olive groves.

栖息地操作以可持续管理 Philaenus spumarius，欧洲木霉的主要载体

近年来，欧洲出人意料的Xylella fastidiosa ( Xf ) 爆发导致对该病的积极管理。由于无法治愈受感染的植物，因此必须对病媒种群进行管理以遏制Xf在受感染地区的传播。我们的目的是评估通常用作覆盖作物的植物物种对Philaenus spumarius L. (Aphrophoridae)种群增长的适用性。因此，我们进行了一系列无选择和多项选择分析来评估P. spumarius的产卵偏好在实验室和半田间条件下，10 种候选植物物种的成虫以及若虫的发育和死亡率。我们的结果将有助于设计生态基础设施，包括有效管理橄榄树林中Xf载体的拉推策略。
