Xylella is a plant pathogenic bacterium not currently present in New Zealand. Xylella, can infect a range of plant species, the meadow spittlebug (Philaenus spumarius), present in New Zealand, is known to be a primary source and vehicle of Xylella infection.
This project is to deliver data, knowledge, and experience required to enable the development and implementation of effective response plans in the event of an incursion of Xylella.
MPI requires data on the meadow spittlebug, including its distribution in potential high-risk areas and plant preference in New Zealand and efficacy of selected insecticides registered in New Zealand for the vectors. The project also requires establishing relationships and science capability to identify meadow spittlebug species with mana whenua.
