Ornithodoros savignyi, the Tick Vector of “Candidatus Borrelia kalaharica” in Nigeria

Citation
Cutler et al. (2018). Journal of Clinical Microbiology 56 (9)
Names
Ca. Borrelia kalaharica
Abstract
Endemic tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) has not been documented in Nigeria, yet clinically compatible cases have been described, and soft tick species are endemic in surrounding countries. Consequently, our aim was to investigate if TBRF-associated Borrelia is present in Nigeria.

Diversity and characterization of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus strains causing huanglongbing disease in Iran, based on two prophage loci

Citation
Saberi et al. (2018). Journal of Phytopathology 166 (9)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
AbstractHuanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening, is a destructive disease of citrus; it is considered a newly emerging disease which has spread to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). In Iran, the disease was first found in 2009. In this study, two hypervariable prophage and phage‐related loci, bacteriophage repressor protein C1 (CLIBASIA_ 01645 locus) and prophage terminase gene (CLIBASIA_05610 locus), were used to determine the diversity and characterization of Candidatus Liberi

The Asian Citrus Psyllid Host Murraya koenigii Is Immune to Citrus Huanglongbing Pathogen ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’

Citation
Beloti et al. (2018). Phytopathology® 108 (9)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) Diaphorina citri, vector of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), the putative causal agent of citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), is controlled by application of insecticides, which, although effective, has resulted in serious biological imbalances. New management tools are needed, and the technique known as “trap crop” has been attracting attention. A potential plant for use as a trap crop in the management of the ACP is Murraya koenigii (curry leaf). However, for
