There is pronounced seasonal variability in the density of adult P. spumarius and the prevalence of X. fastidiosa infection amongst these. (A) Data suggest that adult P. spumarius are absent from January to March, and peak in density around August. This plot shows the modelled change in relative P. spumarius density over a year, fitted to data from two papers. The black dots show the mean density from both papers20,28. (B) Data suggest that the prevalence of X. fastidiosa infection in adult P. spumarius increases rapidly between June and July, to reach a steady peak for the rest of the year. This plot shows the modelled change in the prevalence of X. fastidiosa infection of P. spumarius over a year, fitted to data from three papers: “Cornara JPS”28, “Cornara JAE”22, and “Ben-Moussa”20. The black dots show the mean prevalence estimates from all three papers.
