Host and environmental factors influencing ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ acquisition in Diaphorina citri

Citation
Wu et al. (2018). Pest Management Science 74 (12)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
Abstract Background Diaphorina citri is a vector of ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) associated with citrus Huanglongbing. In this study, the infection and titers of CLas in the psyllid, were monitored for life cycle stage, sex, host‐plant CLas titer, host‐plant genotype, and ambient temperature.

Names
Ca. Carsonella ruddii
Abstract
Abstract BACKGROUND In insects, little is known about the co‐evolution between their primary endosymbionts and hosts at the intraspecific level. This study examined co‐diversification between the notorious agricultural pest Diaphorina citri and its primary endosymbionts (P‐endosymbiont), ‘ Candidatus

A Type 3 Prophage of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ Carrying a Restriction-Modification System

Citation
Zheng et al. (2018). Phytopathology® 108 (4)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
Prophages, the lysogenic form of bacterial phages, are important genetic entities of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), a nonculturable α-proteobacterium associated with citrus Huanglongbing. Two CLas prophages have been described, SC1 (NC_019549.1, Type 1) and SC2 (NC_019550.1, Type 2), which involve the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle, respectively. To explore the prophage repertoire, 523 CLas DNA samples extracted from leaf petioles of CLas-infected citrus were collected from so

Abstract
ABSTRACT We report here the draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” strain TX2351, collected from Asian citrus psyllids in south Texas, USA. The TX2351 genome has a size of 1,252,043 bp, a G+C content of 36.5%, 1,184 predicted open reading frames, and 52 RNA genes.

Unusual Five Copies and Dual Forms of nrdB in “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus”: Biological Implications and PCR Detection Application

Citation
Zheng et al. (2016). Scientific Reports 6 (1)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
Abstract“Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” (CLas), a non-culturable α-proteobacterium, is associated with citrus Huanglongbing (HLB, yellow shoot disease) currently threatening citrus production worldwide. Here, the whole genome sequence of CLas strain A4 from Guangdong of China was analyzed. Five copies of nrdB, encoding β-subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), a critical enzyme involving bacterial proliferation, were found. Three nrdB copies were in long form (nrdBL, 1,059 bp) and two wer

Molecular characterization of a mosaic locus in the genome of 'CandidatusLiberibacter asiaticus'

Citation
Wang et al. (2012). BMC Microbiology 12 (1)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
Abstract Background Huanglongbing (HLB) is a highly destructive disease of citrus production worldwide. 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', an unculturable alpha proteobacterium, is a putative pathogen of HLB. Information about the biology and strain diversity of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' is currently limited, inhibiting the scope of HLB research and control. Results A genomic region (CLIBASIA_05640 to CLIBASIA_05650) of
