A zinc, copper and citric acid biocomplex shows promise for control of Xylella fastidiosa subsp pauca in olive trees in Apulia region (southern Italy)
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca is associated with the “olive quick decline syndrome” in the Apulia region of southern Italy. To investigate control of this phytopathogen, a compound ...
DETECTION OF XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA IN OLIVE TREES BY MOLECULAR AND SEROLOGICAL METHODS
Xylella fastidiosa has recently been identified in the Apulian province of Lecce (south-eastern Italy) in olive trees affected by a devastating disease denoted Olive Quick Decline Syndrome (OQDS), ...
Direct tissue blot immunoassay for detection of Xylella fastidiosa in olive trees
A direct tissue blot immunoassay (DTBIA) technique has been compared with ELISA and PCR for detection of Xylella fastidiosa in olive trees from Apulia (southern Italy). Fresh cross-sections of youn...
Estimating the epidemiology of emerging Xylella fastidiosa outbreaks in olives
Xylella fastidiosais an important insect-vectored bacterial plant pathogen with a wide host range, causing significant economic impact in the agricultural and horticultural industries. Once restr...
In-Field and Early Detection of Xylella fastidiosa Infections in Olive Using a Portable Instrument
Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca (Xfp) is a gram-negative pathogenic bacteria responsible for serious diseases (Purcell, 2013) that inflicts considerable economic loss (Li et al., 2007; Luvisi et al...
Insights on a founder effect: the case of Xylella fastidiosa in the Salento area of Apulia, Italy
Xylella fastidiosa causing disease on different plant species has been reported in several European countries, since 2013. Based on multilocus sequence typing (MLST) results, there is evidence of r...
Modelling the spread and control of Xylella fastidiosa in the early stages of invasion in Apulia, Italy
Xylella fastidiosa is an important plant pathogen that attacks several plants of economic importance. Once restricted to the Americas, the bacterium, which causes olive quick decline syndrome, was ...
Multilocus sequence typing of Xylella fastidiosa isolated from olive affected by "olive quick decline syndrome" in Italy
The recent finding of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) in olive trees in southern Italy, the scanty molecular information on this bacterium and its association with the olive quick decline syndrome (OQDS) p...
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...
Philaenus italosignus a potential vector of Xylella fastidiosa: occurrence of the spittlebug on olive trees in Tuscany (Italy)
The spittlebug Philaenus spumarius (L.) is considered the main vector of Xylella fastidiosa in Apulia (Italy), however, another species of the same genus is present in Italy: Philaenus italosignus ...
Potential distribution of Xylella fastidiosa in Italy: a maximum entropy model
Species distribution models may provide realistic scenarios to explain the influence of bioclimatic variables in the context of emerging plant pathogens. Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited Gram-...
Presence of Cicadomorpha in olive orchards of Greece with special reference to Xylella fastidiosa vectors
Insects of the infraorder Cicadomorpha cause serious economic impact on agriculture because of pathogens' transmission. The vector-borne bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, which is associated with olive...
