Abstract
ABSTRACT Huanglongbing (HLB) is a bacterial disease that affects citrus trees and is considered the most severe citrus disease in the world. The three HLB-associated ‘Ca.Liberibacter’ species harbor prophage regions which have been described to play critical roles in their evolution and biology. In this study, we assembled and characterized the accessory genome of the first circularde novo‘CandidatusLiberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) assembly (V1R1) from Réunion, one of the sparse areas worldwide ho

Abstract
ABSTRACTIn an era of trade globalization and climate change, crop pathogens and pests are a genuine threat to food security. The detailed characterization of emerging pathogen populations is a prerequisite for managing invasive species pathways and designing sustainable disease control strategies. Huanglongbing is the disease that causes the most damage to citrus, a crop that ranks #1 worldwide in terms of fruit production. Huanglongbing can be caused by three species of the phloem‐limited alpha
