Abstract
Studies of the genetic diversity of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ strains based on housekeeping genes have been unsuccessful. The increasing availability of complete genome sequences of several strains from different countries has allowed the identification of regions having greater variability, which have been successfully implemented for the bacterium characterization, including microsatellites, genes of prophage origin, and miniature transposable elements with inverted-repeats (MITEs).
