Chromosome-level Assemblies of Three Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum Vectors: Dyspersa apicalis, Dyspersa pallida, and Trioza urticae (Hemiptera: Psylloidea)

Thomas Heaven, Thomas C. Mathers, Sam T. Mugford…·Saskia A. Hogenhout

This study presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for three psyllid species that transmit Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum, revealing gene expansions and population substructure in Dyspersa apicalis.
