A tiny insect known as the Asian citrus psyllid, is threatening to spread a disease which could severely damage citrus orchards world wide. Psyllids are known carriers of a disease called citrus ...
Citrus greening, also known as huanglongbing, associated with the presence of a bacterium Liberibacter asiaticum, is an example of a plant pathogen that has coevolved with its insect vector, the "Asian citrus psyllid", ACP, Diaphorina citri, such that the pathogen causes little or no harm to the insect, but causes a major disease which can ...
Jagoueix et al. 1994 originated in Asia and is a causal agent of huanglongbing, vectored by the Asian citrus psyllid D. citri. [18] "Candidatus Liberibacter brunswickensis" Morris et al. 2017 [19] associated with the psyllid Acizzia solanicola on eggplant in Australia.
