The Actin Cytoskeleton Mediates Transmission of “ Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum” by the Carrot Psyllid

Citation
Sarkar et al. (2021). Applied and Environmental Microbiology 87 (3)
Names
“Liberibacter solanacearum”
Abstract
Plant diseases caused by vector-borne pathogens are responsible for tremendous losses and threaten some of the most important agricultural crops. A good example is the citrus greening disease, which is caused by bacteria of the genus Liberibacter and is transmitted by psyllids; it has devastated the citrus industry in the United States, China, and Brazil.

Genomic Insights of “Candidatus Nitrosocaldaceae” Based on Nine New Metagenome-Assembled Genomes, Including “Candidatus Nitrosothermus” Gen Nov. and Two New Species of “Candidatus Nitrosocaldus”

Citation
Luo et al. (2021). Frontiers in Microbiology 11
Names
Ca. Nitrosocaldus “Nitrosocaldales” Ca. Nitrosocaldaceae Ca. Nitrosothermus
Abstract
“Candidatus Nitrosocaldaceae” are globally distributed in neutral or slightly alkaline hot springs and geothermally heated soils. Despite their essential role in the nitrogen cycle in high-temperature ecosystems, they remain poorly understood because they have never been isolated in pure culture, and very few genomes are available. In the present study, a metagenomics approach was employed to obtain “Ca. Nitrosocaldaceae” metagenomic-assembled genomes (MAGs) from hot spring samples collected fro

Resistance to ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus,’ the Huanglongbing Associated Bacterium, in Sexually and/or Graft-Compatible Citrus Relatives

Citation
Alves et al. (2021). Frontiers in Plant Science 11
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most destructive, yet incurable disease of citrus. Finding sources of genetic resistance to HLB-associated ‘CandidatusLiberibacter asiaticus’ (Las) becomes strategic to warrant crop sustainability, but no resistantCitrusgenotypes exist. SomeCitrusrelatives of the family Rutaceae, subfamily Aurantioideae, were described as full-resistant to Las, but they are phylogenetically far, thus incompatible withCitrus. Partial resistance was indicated for certain cross-compatible

Rickettsia spp. in rodent-attached ticks in Estonia and first evidence of spotted fever group Rickettsia species Candidatus Rickettsia uralica in Europe

Citation
Vikentjeva et al. (2021).
Names
Ca. Rickettsia uralica
Abstract
Abstract BACKGROUND: Rickettsia spp. are human pathogens that cause a number of diseases and are transmitted by arthropods, such as ixodid ticks. Estonia is one of few regions where the distribution area of two medically important tick species, Ixodes persulcatus and I. ricinus, overlaps. The presence of the nidicolous rodent-associated I. trianguliceps has also recently been shown in Estonia. Although there is no data available in Estonia on human disease caused by tick-borne Rickettsia

Endosymbionts associated with Diaphorina citri, vector of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus

Citation
Colegio de Postgraduados, López-San Juan (2021). Revista Chapingo Serie Horticultura 27 (1)
Names
Ca. Carsonella ruddii Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus Ca. Profftella armatura Liberibacter
Abstract
iaphorina citri is considered the most dangerous citrus pest because it transmits Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the causal agent of Huanglongbing (HLB). Like other hemiptera insects, D. citri has developed mutualistic interactions with prokaryotic organisms known as endosymbionts. This symbiosis can be obligatory, when the interaction occurs with a primary endosymbiont, or facultative, when it is a secondary endosymbiont. Symbiosis is essential for various physiological functions, but some
