Abstract
AbstractThis study is the first to investigate the presence and movement of the novel Liberibacter species ‘Candidatus Liberibacter brunswickensis’ (CLbr) in eggplant, Solanum melongena. The psyllid, Acizzia solanicola can transmit CLbr to eggplant and CLbr can be acquired by CLbr-negative A. solanicola individuals from CLbr-positive eggplants. In planta, CLbr can replicate, move and persist. Investigation into the early development of eggplants showed that CLbr titres had increased at the inocu
