Abstract
A DNA probe was used to detect aster yellows mycoplasmalike organism a cquisition by the corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott), an insect that does not transmit aster yellows mycoplasmalike organis m, as well as by Macrosteles fascifrons (Stal), a vector insect. Resul ts show the effectiveness of the probe for pathogen detection in both the non-vector and the vector insect.
