The Chorion Proteome of <i>Diaphorina citri</i>, the Vector of Huanglongbing Disease in Citrus

Nowadays, the Asian citrus psyllid, <i>Diaphorina citri</i> (Kuwayama) (Hemiptera: Liviidae) is considered the most devastating pest of citrus because it transmits “<i>Candidatus</i> Liberibacter asiaticus”, the putative causal agent of huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening....
