BACTERIAL DISEASES THAT MAY OR DO EMERGE, WITH (POSSIBLE) ECONOMIC DAMAGE FOR EUROPE AND THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN: NOTES ON EPIDEMIOLOGY, RISKS, PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT ON FIRST OCCURRENCE
Bacterial diseases are difficult to control (both chemically and biologically), and are restrained primarily by preventive measures. Most important risk factors for the introduction or spread of ba...
Development of A Nested-MultiLocus Sequence Typing Approach for A Highly Sensitive and Specific Identification of Xylella fastidiosa Subspecies Directly from Plant Samples
Identification of sequence types (ST) of Xylella fastidiosa based on direct MultiLocus Sequence Typing (MLST) of plant DNA samples is partly efficient. In order to improve the sensitivity of X. f...
GIS Analysis of Land-Use Change in Threatened Landscapes by Xylella fastidiosa
Land-use/land-cover analysis using Geographic Information System (GIS) application can describe and quantify the transformation of the landscape, evaluating the effectiveness of municipal planning ...
Harnessing Host-Vector Microbiome for Sustainable Plant Disease Management of Phloem-Limited Bacteria
Plant health and productivity is strongly influenced by their intimate interaction with deleterious and beneficial organisms, including microbes, and insects. Of the various plant diseases, insect-...
Insect Vectors and Current Management Strategies for Diseases Caused by Xylella fastidiosa in the Southern United States
Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterial plant pathogen that causes Pierce's disease of grape, citrus variegated chlorosis, phony peach disease, alfalfa dwarf, and leaf scorch of plum, blueberry, and peca...
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 ...
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 ...
Plant Pathology and Information Technology: Opportunity for Management of Disease Outbreak and Applications in Regulation Frameworks
In many European rural areas, agriculture is not only an economic activity, but it is strictly linked to environmental and social characteristics of the area. Thus, sometimes, a pathogen can become...
Sustainable Management of Plant Quarantine Pests: The Case of Olive Quick Decline Syndrome
The disease outbreak of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca strain CoDiRO (Complesso del Disseccamento Rapido dell'Olivo) in Salento (Apulia, South Italy) associated with severe cases of olive quick de...
Treatment solutions to cure Xylella fastidiosa diseased plants
This opinion addresses the question of the efficacy of current treatment solutions to cure Xylella fastidiosa diseased plants, and discusses the experimental treatments under evaluation by two rese...
Use of SSR markers to assess identity, pedigree, and diversity of cultivated muscadine grapes
The North American muscadine grape (Museadinia rotundifolia Small) is a valuable source of resistance to powdery mildew [Uncinula necator (Schw.) Burr], root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne Goeldi), dag...
