Texas Phoenix Palm Decline (TPPD) and Lethal Yellowing are two phytoplasma-linked diseases in palms. The phytoplasma causing TPPD is thought to be transmitted by three putative planthopper vectors, Ormenaria rufifascia, Omolicna joi, and Haplaxius crudus. These insects have been morphologically and molecularly described, and have screened positive for Candidatus Phytoplasma palmae. Individuals from each species were subjected to 16S bacterial community sequencing using the Roche 454 platform, providing new information regarding the previously unexplored bacterial communities present in putative vectors.
得克萨斯凤凰棕榈衰退病（TPPD）和致死黄化病是两种与植原体有关的棕榈病害。引发TPPD的植原体被认为是由三种假定的叶蝉传播媒介传播的，即红带奥脉叶蝉、乔氏奥莫叶蝉和粗短单突叶蝉。这些昆虫已在形态学和分子层面进行了描述，并且对棕榈植原体呈阳性筛查结果。使用罗氏454平台对每个物种的个体进行了16S细菌群落测序，提供了有关假定传播媒介中先前未被探索的细菌群落的新信息。
