Switzerland's Canton Ticino hosts a dataset on Flavescence dorée phytoplasma infection in gone-wild grapevines and insect vectors. ENVIDAT compiled data from 13 plots, comparing infection rates and genetic profiles between wild and cultivated habitats. The dataset was updated in January 2024.
Use Cases
- Model FDp infection rate in gone-wild grapevines based on historical vector dispersal gradient.
- Compare genetic profiles (e.g., map M54 genotype) between infected gone-wild grapevines and samples from cultivated vineyards.
- Analyze vector abundance and infection status for Scaphoideus titanus and Orientus ishidae across 13 sampling plots.
- Identify potential FDp reservoirs by correlating infection rates of gone-wild grapevines with vector presence data.
- Assess risk of FD outbreaks in FDp-free areas using data on alternative vectors harboring common genotypes.
Strengths
- Data collected from 13 distinct plots across Canton Ticino.
- Includes infection status and genetic profiles for both plant hosts (gone-wild grapevines) and insect vectors.
- Compares data against historical gradient of primary vector arrival and dispersal.
Limitations
- Specific sample sizes (row counts) for grapevines and vectors are not provided.
- Geographic scope is limited to one canton in Switzerland.
- Column names and data structure are unknown.
