Abstract：
Diaphorina citri is mainly harmful to
citrus, Murraya exotica L, Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels
and other Rutaceae plants, and is also a vector of Candidatus liberibacter asiaticus, the most widespread pathogen associated with Huanglongbing, a disease
that has greatly restricted the development of citrus industry.
Insecticide resistance is common in D. citrus so alternative methods of
controlling this pest are required. This paper reviews research on the
behavioural responses of D. citrus to olfactory, visual and pheromonal
cues, and also host germplasm selectivity, to facilitate developing new methods
for controlling this pest.
