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...

Inferring pathogen dynamics from temporal count data: the emergence of Xylella fastidiosa in France is probably not recent

Unravelling the ecological structure of emerging plant pathogens persisting in multi-host systems is challenging. In such systems, observations are often heterogeneous with respect to time, space a...

Intersubspecific Recombination in Xylella fastidiosa Strains Native to the United States: Infection of Novel Hosts Associated with an Unsuccessful Invasion

The bacterial pathogen Xylella fastidiosa infects xylem and causes disease in many plant species in the Americas. Different subspecies of this bacterium and different genotypes within subspecies in...

Phylogenetic inference enables reconstruction of a long-overlooked outbreak of almond leaf scorch disease (Xylella fastidiosa) in Europe

The recent introductions of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) into Europe are linked to the international plant trade. However, both how and when these entries occurred remains poorly underst...

Two different Xylella fastidiosa strains circulating in Italy: phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses

Xylella fastidiosa, a bacterial species infecting a broad range plants, includes five subspecies, fastidiosa, multiplex, pauca, mulberry and sandyi. In Europe, Xylella was isolated in olive trees i...
