A biological control model to manage the vector and the infection of Xylella fastidiosa on olive trees

Xylella fastidiosa pauca ST53 is the bacterium responsible for the Olive Quick Decline Syndrome that has killed millions of olive trees in Southern Italy. A recent work demonstrates that a ration...

Accumulation of Azelaic Acid in Xylella fastidiosa-Infected Olive Trees: A Mobile Metabolite for Health Screening

Monitoring Xylella fastidiosa is critical for eradicating or at least containing this harmful pathogen. New low-cost and rapid methods for early detection capability are very much needed. Metabolom...

A geostatistical fusion approach using UAV data for probabilistic estimation of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca infection in olive trees.

Xylella fastidiosa is one of the most destructive plant pathogenic bacteria worldwide, affecting more than 500 plant species. In Apulia region (southeastern Italy), X. fastidiosa subsp. pauca (Xf...

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...

Analysis of Defense-Related Gene Expression in Citrus Hybrids Infected by Xylella fastidiosa

Resistance to Xylella fastidiosa was evaluated in 264 hybrids of crosses between Murcott tangor (Citrus reticulata x Citrus sinensis) and Pera sweet orange (C. sinensis) under field conditions. Uni...

Analysis of resistance to Xylella fastidiosa within a hybrid population of Pera sweet orange x Murcott tangor

Resistance to Xylella fastidiosa was evaluated within a population of 20 interspecific hybrids of Pera sweet orange and Murcott tangor under greenhouse conditions. Efficiency of inoculation, multip...

A zinc, copper and citric acid biocomplex shows promise for control of Xylella fastidiosa subsp pauca in olive trees in Apulia region (southern Italy)

The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca is associated with the “olive quick decline syndrome” in the Apulia region of southern Italy. To investigate control of this phytopathogen, a compound ...

BRIEF HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF OLIVE LEAF SCORCH ("BRUSCA") IN THE SALENTO PENINSULA OF ITALY AND STATE-OF-THE-ART OF THE OLIVE QUICK DECLINE SYNDROME

"Brusca" (leaf scorch or marginal leaf burn) is a disease of olive (Olea europaea) typically characterized by the desiccation and death of tissues at the tip and/or along the edge of the leaf blade...

Changes in Olive Urban Forests Infected by Xylella fastidiosa: Impact on Microclimate and Social Health

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the impact of changes in olive urban forests affected by Xylella fastidiosa on ecosystem services. The focus is on microclimate and thermal comfort evaluate...

Citrus sinensis LEAF PETIOLE AND BLADE COLONIZATION BY Xylella fastidiosa: DETAILS OF XYLEM VESSEL OCCLUSION

Citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC), caused by Xylella fastidiosa, is an important disease of citrus in Brazil. X. fastidiosa is restricted to xylem vessels of plants and knowledge regarding xylem co...

Comparative dispersal of Homalodisca coagulata and Homalodisca liturata (Homoptera : Cicadellidae)

California's viticulture and ornamental industries have suffered significant losses since the introduction of Homalodisca coagulata (Say), an important vector of the Pierce's disease bacterium. A b...

Complete Genome Sequence Data of Three Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex Strains Isolated from Olive Trees in California, U.S.A.

Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited bacterial plant pathogen that causes disease on numerous hosts. Additionally, X. fastidiosa asymptomatically colonizes a wide range of plant species. X. fast...
