Current
Research and Current Request for Proposals
Many university-, state-, federal-, and industry-supported scientists are currently studying the glassy-winged sharpshooter and the associated diseases it transmits. In an effort to increase collaborative efforts and minimize research conflicts, this workgroup attempts to indentify individuals investigating (or showing an interest in investigating) various aspects of Xylella diseases and their associated insect vectors.
Below you will find a directory of research projects that are currently investigating some aspect of Xylella diseases and their insect vectors. You will also find a list of current open request for proposals relative to Xylella/sharpshooter research. The research directory is arranged by research area; you may click on one of the research areas and go directly to that section of the directory. Note, sharpshooter and Xylella research areas are color coded. Individual projects may be associated with more than one research area. Alternatively, by using your browser "Find on this Page" feature, you may search the directory by title words, supplemental keywords, or principle investigator name.
If you, or someone you know, should be included in this directory, please forward the following information to Dr. Rick Redak: Name and title of individual, organizational affiliation, title of research project(s). You may use the site feed-back form to transmit this information.
