Disseminating industry may prevent their introduction spread Florida. will focus viral disease caused by isolates tristeza virus–stem pitt...

LIKUBIN has been prevalent in Taiwan since 1958, attacking most of the commercial varieties such as ponkan, tankan, and sweet orange. Formerly thought to be due to unfavorable soil conditions, such as high moisture content and deficiency of essential nutrients, or to root rot, it was subsequently demonstrated to be caused by an infectious agent believed to be closely related to tristeza virus b...

Previously we reported a novel variant of HSVd that constantly associated with the yellow corky vein disease. Here, 19 individual citrus leaves with yellow corky vein symptoms were sampled for CTV by ELISA. In this study, most symptomatic samples were found to be inf...

background and aims: plant certification programs need reliable, fast, cheap and sensitive methods for detection of systemic pathogens with special interest in virus and viroid detection. reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) has been documented as an alternative assay for certification of plant propagating materials. the main object of the present study was the optimization ...

Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is a major pathogen affecting citrus trees worldwide. However, few studies have focused on CTV's evolutionary history and geographic behavior. CTV is locally dispersed by an aphid vector and long distance dispersion due to transportation of contaminated material. With the aim to delve deeper into the CTV-NC (New Clade) genotype evolution, we estimated an evolution ra...

In Bangladesh, citrus is an important fruit crop that becoming more commonly cultivated in commercial plantations. March 2019, we observed yellowing, vein clearing, and mild mosaic symptoms citron (Citrus medica). Based on systematic serological molecular analyses of the symptomatic leaf samples, Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) was identified. To best our knowledge, this first report CTV any Bangla...

Citrus trees harbor a large number of viral and bacterial pathogens. Citrus yellow vein clearing virus (CYVCV), Indian citrus ringspot virus (ICRSV), Citrus yellow mosaic virus (CYMV), Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) and a bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLa) associated with huanglongbing (HLB) disease, the most prevalent pathogens in citrus orchards of different regions in India and ...

The Sudanese citrus industry is mainly based on oldline cultivars of grapefruit, sweet orange and willow leaf mandarin, grafted almost exclusively on sour orange. Infection with graft-transmissible agents, viroids in particular, may have deleterious effects on the productivity of these citrus species and, more importantly, limits the choice of rootstocks should sour orange be replaced by altern...
