A Survey for Strains of Xylella fastidiosa in Citrus Affected by Citrus Variegated Chlorosis and Citrus Blight in Brazil [PDF]
Polymerase chain reaction amplification of DNA from various strains of Xylella fastidiosa with tRNA consensus primers produced three different fingerprint groups. The citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) and mulberry leaf scorch strains were unique and readily separated from each other and all other strains tested. Internal primers were designed based on
