‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) is an unculturable phloem-restricted α-proteobacterium associated with huanglongbing (HLB). Here, we provide the genome sequence of CLas strain CoFLP1 from its insect vector Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) collected in the department of La Guajira, Colombia. The CoFLP1 strain is composed of 1,231,639 bp with G+C 36.5% content. This study reports the first CLas genome sequence from Colombia, which will add to CLas genome resources and help to elucidate our understanding of the introduction pathway of HLB in South America.

‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ is an insect-transmitted, phloem-restricted α-proteobacterium associated with huanglongbing. Here, we provide the whole genome sequence of ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ strain ReuSP1 from its insect vector Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) collected in La Réunion. The genome is composed of 1,230,064 bp and has a 36.5% G+C content. This study reports the first ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ genome sequence from La Réunion, which will add to ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ genome resources and help elucidate our understanding of the introduction pathway into La Réunion.

Cacopsylla citrisuga (Yang & Li) is an important pest-threatening Citrus and Poncirus plants (Rutaceae) and a newly identified insect vector of citrus Huanglongbing. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. citrisuga was 14,906 bp in length, with 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). The phylogenetic trees inferred from Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood analyses confirmed C. citrisuga as a member of the genus Cacopsylla. Our phylogenetic analyses suggested that the Cacopsylla is paraphyletic, and confirmed C. citrisuga as a member of clade-I under Cacopsylla. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. citrisuga will provide important information for the phylogeny and evolution analysis of Cacopsylla.
