Complete Genome Sequence Data of Three Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex Strains Isolated from Olive Trees in California, U.S.A.
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited bacterial plant pathogen that causes disease on numerous hosts. Additionally, X. fastidiosa asymptomatically colonizes a wide range of plant species. X. fast...
Estimation of Feeding Threshold for Homalodisca vitripennis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and Its Application to Prediction of Overwintering Mortality
The glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar), vectors the bacterium Xylella fastidtosa that induces Pierce's disease of grape This study determined the effect of temperature on ...
Harmonized protocol for monitoring and detection of Xylella fastidiosa in its host plants and its vectors (PROMODE)
Report of the Euphresco project 2015-F-146 'Harmonized protocol for monitoring and detection of Xylella fastidiosa in its host plants and its vectors (PROMODE)'. The PROMODE project workplan was de...
Infectivity and Transmission of Xylella fastidiosa by Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) in Apulia, Italy
Discovery of Xylella fastidiosa from olive trees with "Olive quick decline syndrome" in October 2013 on the west coast of the Salento Peninsula prompted an immediate search for insect vectors of th...
Plant Water Stress and Vector Feeding Preference Mediate Transmission Efficiency of a Plant Pathogen
Pathogen spread by arthropod vectors is the outcome of pathogen-vector-plant interactions, as well as how these interactions are impacted by abiotic and biotic factors. While plant water stress imp...
Sharpshooters: a review of what moves Xylella fastidiosa
Sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae) and spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae: Aphrophorinae) have a worldwide distribution and are often associated with many crops. Because the g...
Targeted Mutations in Xylella fastidiosa Affect Acquisition and Retention by the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)
Xylella fastidiosa (Wells) is a xylem-limited bacterium that causes Pierce's disease of grapevines. The bacterium is transmitted by insect vectors such as the glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS), H...
Update of the Scientific Opinion on the risks to plant health posed by Xylella fastidiosa in the EU territory
EFSA was asked to update the 2015 EFSA risk assessment on Xylella fastidiosa for the territory of the EU. In particular, EFSA was asked to focus on potential establishment, short- and long-range sp...
