A lattice model to manage the vector and the infection of the Xylella fastidiosa on olive trees
Since October 2013 a new devastating plant disease, known as Olive Quick Decline Syndrome, has been killing most of the olive trees distributed in Apulia, South Italy. Xylella fastidiosa pauca ST53...
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...
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 ...
Occurrence of Xylella fastidiosa in the Balearic Islands and potential distribution areas in the Iberian Peninsula
Biological invasions are one of the main threats related to the economy and the biodiversity related to global change. Recently, a very harmful phytopathogenic organism has been detected in the Bal...
RESPONSE OF RESISTANT, TOLERANT, AND SUSCEPTIBLE GRAPEVINE TISSUES TO INVASION BY THE PIERCES DISEASE BACTERIUM, XYLELLA-FASTIDIOSA
Microtechniques were used to quantify occlusion of leaf veins of grapevines inoculated with Xylella fastidiosa. Bacteria and pectins were responsible for most occlusions in xylem vessels of inocula...
Xylella fastidiosa invasion of new countries in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa: Ranking the potential exposure scenarios
After the recent high-impact European outbreaks of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf), a xylem-limited plant pathogenic bacterium native to the Americas, this research aims to rank the risks of potential en...
