*Analysis of potential distribution of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex ST-6 AND Philaenus spumarius IN THE SOUTH OF THE IBERIAN PENINSULA. THE ECOLOGICAL MODEL OF NICHE MAXENT
The ecological model of niche MaxEnt has been used to know the potential distribution of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex and the associated vector Philaenus spumarius in the south of the Iber...
From Nucleotides to Satellite Imagery: Approaches to Identify and Manage the Invasive Pathogen Xylella fastidiosa and Its Insect Vectors in Europe
Biological invasions represent some of the most severe threats to local communities and ecosystems. Among invasive species, the vector-borne pathogen Xylella fastidiosa is responsible for a wide ...
Genomes-based phylogeny of the genus Xanthomonas
The genus Xanthomonas comprises several plant pathogenic bacteria affecting a wide range of hosts. Despite the economic, industrial and biological importance of Xanthomonas, the classification and ...
Hidden Markov models applied to a subsequence of the Xylella fastidiosa genome
Dependencies in DNA sequences are frequently modeled using Markov models. However, Markov chains cannot account for heterogeneity that may be present in different regions of the same DNA sequence. ...
Impact of Xylella fastidiosa subspecies pauca in European olives
Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of plant diseases that cause massive economic damage. In 2013, a strain of the bacterium was, for the first time, detected in the European territory (Italy)...
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 ...
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...
Pattern Formation Exhibited by Biofilm Formation within Microfluidic Chambers
This article investigates the dynamics of an important bacterial pathogen, Xylella fastidiosa, within artificial plant xylem. The bacterium is the causative agent of a variety cif diseases that str...
Potential distribution of Xylella fastidiosa in Italy: a maximum entropy model
Species distribution models may provide realistic scenarios to explain the influence of bioclimatic variables in the context of emerging plant pathogens. Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited Gram-...
Presence of calcium-binding motifs in PilY1 homologs correlates with Ca-mediated twitching motility and evolutionary history across diverse bacteria
Twitching motility, involving type IV pili, is essential for host colonization and virulence of many pathogenic bacteria. Studies of PilY1, a tip-associated type IV pili protein, indicate that PilY...
Relationship between sweet orange yield and intensity of Citrus Variegated Chlorosis
Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC) is currently present in approximately 40% of citrus plants in Brazil and causes an annual loss of around 120 million US dollars to the Brazilian citrus industry. D...
The multi-omics promise in context: from sequence to microbial isolate
The numbers and diversity of microbes in ecosystems within and around us is unmatched, yet most of these microorganisms remain recalcitrant to in vitro cultivation. Various high-throughput molecula...
