Summary:Details the methodology and results of a study that attempted to identify the potential insect vectors of strawberry lethal yellows (SLY) (caused by 'Candidatus Phytoplasma australiense'). Talks about the identification and testing of leafhoppers caught in traps established at two properties in the Bay of Plenty for the presence of phytoplasma using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Discusses the implications of the work for future SLY studies.
