Wayne B Hunter    Research Entomologist  Wayne Hunter,Ph.D.Research EntomologistAdult Glassy-winged Sharpshooter Leafhopper, GWSS, Homalodisca coagulata (Say). Vector of Pierce's Disease of grapes, a xylem-limited bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa. Adults are about ? inch, (12 mm) long.U. S. Horticultural Research Laboratory2001 South Rock RoadFort Pierce, FL 34945Telephone: (772) 462-5898Fax: (772) 462-5986Email:Wayne.Hunter@ars.usda.govAdult Glassy-winged Sharpshooter Leafhopper, GWSS, Homalodisca vitripennis Germar,. Vector of Pierce's disease of grapes, a xylem-limited bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa.  Adults are about 1/2 inch, (12 mm) long.  Current Research Projects: Dr. Hunter, Lead Scientist conducting research on the spread of plant diseases by insects.The main focus of research is on the glassy-winged sharpshooter, GWSS, and other leafhoppers which spread the plant infecting bacteria, Xylella fastidiosa,at the U.S. Horticultural Research Lab, Fort Pierce, Florida. Dr. Hunter works to provide solutions to insect problems under USDA-ARS National Program 304, Crop Protection and Quarantine. Dr. Hunter's lab is elucidating GWSS biology using a genomics approach and has produced and published ~25,000 genetic sequences isolated from the GWSS. These can be found at the National Center Biotechnology and Information, NCBI, expressed sequence tag, EST database for access by the research and education community. Continuing examination of GWSS proteins have led to a deeper understanding of leafhopper feeding, development, and pathogen interactions. He is the founder of the 'Southeastern Xylella Sharpshooter Initiative' aimed at increasing interactions among researchers on Pierce's disease and leafhoppers. Dr. Hunter is also examining the use of insect viruses as a possible management tools to reduce insect populations, such as GWSS. He has discovered several new insect viruses isolated from aphids, leafhoppers, psyllids, and fire ants.  Dr. Hunter also conducts research on exotic insect pests. He has produced over 120,000 sequences from many different insect species: Aphids, ( Toxoptera citricida, Acyrthosiphon pisum, Aphis gossypii); Leafhoppers, ( Homalodisca coagulata, Oncometopia nigricans); Asian Citrus Psyllid, ( Diaphorina citri); Pink hibiscus mealybug, ( Maconellicoccus hirsutus); citrus weevil, ( Diaprepes abbreviatus); Asian longhorn beetle, ( Anoplophora glabripennis); and parasitoids ( Lysiphlebus testaceipes, Nasonia). He was awarded 'Entomologist of the Year 2005' from the Florida Entomological Society for, "Internationally recognized contributions to insect genomics". He is a member of the International Aphid Genomics working group, working with researchers from the USA, France, Spain, Japan, and Australia. The aphid genome effort has resulted in the production of two pea aphid microarrays which are being used to increase our understanding of gene expression in aphid biology. Dr. Hunter is also a member of the Genome Steering committee for the National Parasitoid Genome Project, Nasonia and the International Whitefly Genome Initiative. He also organizes the 'International Insect Genomics Workshop at the International Plant & Animal Genome conference. Dr. Hunter is a member of the 'International Grape Genome Program', and a co-developer of the 'North American Grape Genome Database', which is hosted at FloridaA&MUniversity. North American grape varieties have greater resistance to grape diseases and insect pests. Design of genetic markers linked to resistance traits are being used in a maker-assisted selection program to produce new grape varieties with resistance to important grape diseases, such as Pierce's Disease, and fungal pathogens. Due to the economic importance of the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, as a vector of bacteria associated with the disease Huanglongbing, HLB in citrus, several new genomics efforts have been started to address many of the unknowns surrounding the cause and spread of HLB.
