Abstract
Citrus greening or Huanglongbing (HLB) is a rapidly spreading disease caused by Candidatus Liberibacter species, which inhabit the phloem of citrus plants. It is primarily transmitted by psyllid insects. Managing HLB is challenging due to the bacterium's phloem-restricted nature, making diagnosis and treatment with antimicrobials difficult. Here in the present study, the bacterial consensus sequences were used for the primer design with In silico approaches and validated by PCR. The study was ca
