is a pathogenic bacterium that poses a significant threat to global agriculture, necessitating a deeper understanding of its ecological dynamics in the context of global warming. This study investigates the current and projected future distribution of , focusing on the climatic factors that influence its spread. To achieve this, we employed Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) modeling based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze species occurrence records alongside relevant climate data.

- - Rice is vital for more than half the global population, but its production is threatened by bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae, making understanding its potential spread due to climate change essential for food security.
- - Using ecological niche modeling and the Maxent algorithm, researchers projected risk maps for X. oryzae from 2050 to 2070, revealing that its geographic range and habitat suitability will likely expand significantly under both low and high emission scenarios.
- - Key climatic factors driving this spread include increased yearly precipitation and higher temperatures during wet periods, highlighting the need for integrated management strategies that consider host susceptibility and agricultural practices to protect rice production against climate-related disease dynamics.
