Intra-Laboratory Evaluation of DNA Extraction Methods and Assessment of a Droplet Digital PCR for the Detection of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri on Different Citrus Species.

pv. (Xcc) and pv. (Xca), causal agents of citrus bacterial canker, are both regulated by the European Union to prevent their introduction.

Further In Vitro Assessment and Mid-Term Evaluation of Control Strategy of subsp. in Olive Groves of Salento (Apulia, Italy).

During recent years; subsp. (Xfp) has spread in Salento causing relevant damage to the olive groves. Measures to contain the spreading of the pathogen include the monitoring of the areas bordering the so-called "infected" zone and the tree eradication in case of positive detection.

Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca and olive produced lipids moderate the switch adhesive versus non-adhesive state and viceversa.

Global trade and climate change are re-shaping the distribution map of pandemic pathogens. One major emerging concern is Xylella fastidiosa, a tropical bacterium recently introduced into Europe from America. In last decades, X.
