Detection of Xylella fastidiosa in potential insect vectors by immunomagnetic separation and nested polymerase chain reaction
A sensitive and specific assay for detecting Xylella fastidiosa in potential insect vectors was developed. This assay involves immunomagnetic separation of the bacteria from the insect, followed by...
EVALUATION OF A RAPID ELISA TEST KIT FOR DETECTION OF XYLELLA-FASTIDIOSA IN LANDSCAPE TREES
Leaf scorch symptoms on landscape trees infected with Xylella fastidiosa are often confused with similar symptoms caused by stress factors. Because the isolation of X. fastidiosa from trees is diff...
Fast, easy and efficient DNA extraction and one-step polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Xylella fastidiosa in potential insect vectors
A quick, simple and efficient procedure for detecting Xylella fastidiosa in potential insect vectors is described. The procedure employs a commercially available DNeasy tissue kit for the extractio...
Interactive effects of water stress and xylem-limited bacterial infection on the water relations of a host vine
Xylella fastidiosa, a xylem-limited bacterial pathogen that causes bacterial leaf scorch in its hosts, has a diverse and extensive host range among plant species worldwide. Previous work has shown ...
PATHOGENICITY OF XYLELLA-FASTIDIOSA IN AMERICAN ELM AND FAILURE OF RECIPROCAL TRANSMISSION BETWEEN STRAINS FROM ELM AND SYCAMORE
Pathogenicity of Xylella fastidiosa was demonstrated in American elm seedlings. Ten 4-mo-old seedlings were stem-inoculated with a pure culture of X. fastidiosa obtained from a naturally infected e...
