Southern Switzerland forests were surveyed to assess gone-wild grapevines as a reservoir for Flavescence dorée phytoplasma and habitat for its insect vectors. The dataset includes results from plant sampling and chromotropic trap monitoring for vectors Scaphoideus titanus and Orientus ishidae. Data was contributed by ENVIDAT and last updated in 2023.
Use Cases
- Correlate FDp infection status in sampled grapevines with proximity to forest habitats.
- Analyze vector abundance data from chromotropic traps to identify seasonal or locational patterns.
- Assess oviposition activity data from caged wood samples to evaluate vector life cycle completion.
- Model the role of gone-wild grapevines as an FDp inoculum source using plant infection and vector presence fields.
Strengths
- Data supports a complete study design with plant sampling and insect trapping phases.
- Findings are validated by testing the full life cycle of two primary insect vectors.
Limitations
- Specific sample sizes, row counts, and column details are not provided.
- Geographic scope is limited to forests in Southern Switzerland.
