1. Napier Stunt Disease is caused by a phytoplasma transmitted by the leafhopper Maiestas banda. Developing effective management strategies requires fully understanding the disease biology and its vector. 2. There is a need to determine the epidemiology of the disease, identify other potential vectors, understand the vectors' distribution and ability to spread the phytoplasma, and consider human factors contributing to the disease's spread. 3. Developing resistant varieties and cultural controls, like removing refugia grasses, could help manage the disease, but more research is needed to understand resistance mechanisms and potential impacts on vectors and food security.
