Bacterial diversity in potential cicadellids vectors of Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. in coffee plants in Puerto Rico
Bacteria from head and body tissues of three potential insect vectors of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf), Apogonalia spp., Hortensia similis and Caribovia coffeacola, were isolated in periwinkle wilt (PW) ...
Biodiversity and ecology of potential vectors (Insecta: Hemiptera: Auchenorryncha) of Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. in coffee plants of Puerto Rico
Xylella fastidiosa(Xf) is a xylem-limited bacterium that is the causal agent of coffee leaf scorch (CLS) in Central America. The purpose of this research was to survey potential vectors of Xf in pl...
Combined use of a new SNP-based assay and multilocus SSR markers to assess genetic diversity of Xylella fastidiosa subsp pauca infecting citrus and coffee plants
Two haplotypes of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca (Xfp) that correlated with their host of origin were identified in a collection of 90 isolates infecting citrus and coffee plants in Brazil, based ...
Comparative genomic analysis of coffee-infecting Xylella fastidiosa strains isolated from Brazil
Strains of Xylella fastidiosa constitute a complex group of bacteria that develop within the xylem of many plant hosts, causing diseases of significant economic importance, such as Pierce's disease...
Differential Responses of Tobacco to the Citrus Variegated Chlorosis and Coffee Stem Atrophy Strains of Xylella fastidiosa
Xylella fastidiosa comprises a diverse group of xylem-limited, insect-transmitted bacterial pathogens. In Brazil, the citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) and coffee stem atrophy (CSA) diseases are ...
Genetic characterization of Xylella fastidiosa isolated from citrus and coffee plants
The Citrus Variegated Chlorosis and the Coffee Leaf Scorch are some of the many destructive diseases caused by Xylella fastidiosa, a gram- negative bacterium limited to the xylem of affected plants...
Genetic structure and biology of Xylella fastidiosa strains causing disease in citrus and coffee in Brazil
Xylella fastidiosa is a vector-borne, plant-pathogenic bacterium that causes disease in citrus (citrus variegated chlorosis [CVC]) and coffee (coffee leaf scorch [CLS]) plants in Brazil. CVC and CL...
High-Quality Draft Genome Sequence Resources of Eight Xylella fastidiosa Strains Isolated from Citrus, Coffee, Plum, and Hibiscus in South America.
Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca, once confined to South America and infecting mainly citrus and coffee plants, has been found to be associated with other hosts and in other geographic regions. We...
Host colonization differences between citrus and coffee isolates of Xylella fastidiosa in reciprocal inoculation
Citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) and coffee stern atrophy (CSA) are important diseases in Brazil associated with closely-related strains of Xylella fastidiosa, but little is know about host overla...
Local and Landscape Constraints on Coffee Leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) Diversity
The intensification of agriculture drives many ecological and environmental consequences including impacts on crop pest populations and communities. These changes are manifested at multiple scales ...
New Coffee Plant-Infecting Xylella fastidiosa Variants Derived via Homologous Recombination
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited phytopathogenic bacterium endemic to the Americas that has recently emerged in Asia and Europe. Although this bacterium is classified as a quarantine organism ...
