Abstract
ABSTRACT Huanglongbing (HLB) is a bacterial disease that affects citrus trees and is considered the most severe citrus disease in the world. The three HLB-associated ‘Ca.Liberibacter’ species harbor prophage regions which have been described to play critical roles in their evolution and biology. In this study, we assembled and characterized the accessory genome of the first circularde novo‘CandidatusLiberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) assembly (V1R1) from Réunion, one of the sparse areas worldwide ho

Abstract
AbstractPlant pathogens can alter the behavior of their insect vectors as well as their survival and reproduction. The African psyllid, Trioza erytreae, is one of the vectors of Huanglongbing, a citrus disease caused mainly by “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” (CLas). The purpose of this study was to characterize the effects of CLas on the psyllid, T. erytreae using Citrus volkamerina plants as the study system. The study focused more specifically on the CLas effects prior to and after its acq

Abstract
IntroductionHuanglonbing (HLB) is the most serious disease of citrus in the world, associated with three non-cultivable phloem-restricted bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), Ca L. africanus (CLaf) and Ca L. americanus (CLam). CLas is transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri, and has spread to several countries. The African psyllid Trioza erytreae, the vector of CLaf occurs in Africa and neighbouring islands. Only two major citrus-growing regions - Australia/New Zea
