A mathematical model for Xylella fastidiosa epidemics in the Mediterranean regions. Promoting good agronomic practices for their effective control
Mathematical models represent essential tools allowing a quantitative analysis of an epidemic system with the consequent identification of possible strategies to control a disease outbreak or eve...
Anticipating and understanding new Xylella fastidiosa epidemics across European landscapes; insights from remote sensing and network analysis
Europe’s major X. fastidiosa outbreaks have progressed steadily in the past years as data on the bacterial strains causing them, and on the host range and vectors of the pathogen in various regions...
Emerging plant disease epidemics: Biological research is key but not enough
The effective management of plant diseases is of fundamental importance for food production, forestry, and other plant-derived products, as well as for the sustainability of natural environments. W...
Host structural carbohydrate induces vector transmission of a bacterial plant pathogen
Many insect-borne pathogens have complex life histories because they must colonize both hosts and vectors for successful dissemination. In addition, the transition from host to vector environments ...
