Plant diseases associated with psyllid vectors have spread rapidly and globally among commercially important cultures, causing great economic damage (e.g., on stone fruit trees, citrus, and potatoes). A better understanding of the potential range of the vector and host species is key to assess the potential risks for plant health under current and future climates.

Here we focus on the two psyllid vectors of the Cacopsylla pruni complex able to transmit a bacterium ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum’, responsible for a disease of Prunus sp., European stone fruit yellows (ESFY).

We have compiled our own non-published occurrence data with data collected through a systematic literature review and through GBIF to compose a dataset of 1975 records (with locality name, GPS coordinates, host plant, etc) with URL link to access directly and generally freely to the original information (e.g., PDF file of an article, manuscript or book, GBIF page, etc).
