A biological control model to manage the vector and the infection of Xylella fastidiosa on olive trees
Xylella fastidiosa pauca ST53 is the bacterium responsible for the Olive Quick Decline Syndrome that has killed millions of olive trees in Southern Italy. A recent work demonstrates that a ration...
A lattice model to manage the vector and the infection of the Xylella fastidiosa on olive trees
Since October 2013 a new devastating plant disease, known as Olive Quick Decline Syndrome, has been killing most of the olive trees distributed in Apulia, South Italy. Xylella fastidiosa pauca ST53...
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...
No evidence for cicadas' implication in Xylella fastidiosa epidemiology
Cicadas are prominent insects in the Mediterranean basin environments, including in olive orchards. The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited vector-borne plant pathogen that was introd...
Spittlebugs as vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in olive orchards in Italy
The recent introduction of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe and its involvement in the Olive Quick Decline Syndrome (OQDS) in Apulia (Salento, Lecce district, South Italy) led us to investigate the bio...
