Coffee leaf scorch and citrus variegated chlorosis are localized and have not caused serious economic damage in Puerto Rico, so far (Brodbeck et al., 2017) . Molecular studies of bacterial populations occurring in Puerto Rico are still needed. In coffee orchards, the most abundant leafhopper is Caribovia coffeacola.
