Survey data of xylem-sap feeding Auchenorrhyncha

The recent outbreaks of the xylem-limited bacterium <em>Xylella fastidiosa</em> in Europe require the improvement of prevention measures and of integrated management strategies for the diseases caused by this destructive pathogen. These needs are adressed by the XF-ACTORS consortium. Within the workpackage 5 of this project, faunistic surveys have been carried out in various habitats of southern and central Europe and in olive groves in Brazil to monitor the presence of xylem-sap feeding Auchenorrhyncha as confirmed or potential vectors of <em>X. fastidiosa</em>. The metadata of the collection are reported in this database. It provides general information about the occurrence and abundance of xylem-sap feeder species in Europe. This work has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No. 727987 - XF-ACTORS “Xylella Fastidiosa Active Containment Through a multidisciplinary-Oriented Research Strategy”
