Horizontal transmission of the symbiotic bacterium Asaia sp. in the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus Ball (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae).

The proportion of diets that assayed positive for Asaia showed a trend characterized by a peak corresponding to 48 hours post exposure to the donor (16 out of 19 positive samples; while 7 out of 10 samples were positive after 24 hours), followed by a decrease starting from the 72 hours acquisition (10 out of 14 positive samples; 4 out of 10 after 96 hours).
