Universal detection of phytoplasmas and Xylella spp. by TaqMan singleplex and multiplex real-time PCR with dual priming oligonucleotides. [PDF]
Phytoplasmas and Xylella spp. are bacteria that cause many economically important plant diseases worldwide. TaqMan probe-based quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays have been utilized to universally detect phytoplasmas or Xylella

Diffusible Signal Factor (DSF)-dependent quorum sensing in pathogenic bacteria and its exploitation for disease control [PDF]
Cell-to-cell signals of the Diffusible Signal Factor (DSF) family are cis-2-unsaturated fatty acids of differing chain length and branching pattern. DSF signalling has been described in diverse bacteria to include plant and human pathogens where it acts ...

Xylella fastidiosa Dispersion on Vegetal Hosts in Demarcated Zones in the North Region of Portugal
The detection of Xylella fastidiosa in Portugal occurred through prospection in 2019 in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto, in plants of Lavandula dentata L. Currently, in Portugal, there are 18 Xylella fastidiosa Demarcated Zones (DZs). The main objective of this

Sustainable Tourism and Projectification: Evidence from South‐Eastern Italy
Abstract This article examines how public policy can be used to promote local tourism and steer it towards sustainability. It uses the municipality of Lecce—a medium‐sized city in south‐eastern Italy—and the broader Salento region as a critical case study, drawing on descriptive statistics, administrative data on local policy projects promoting culture

Targeting the symbiont Candidatus Pantoea carbekii offers a novel way to manage the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). Among the three commercial bio‐products tested, Dentamet significantly reduced symbiont acquisition and caused up to 75% nymphal mortality in laboratory conditions, which was confirmed by quantitative Real‐Time ...

No evidence for cicadas’ implication in Xylella fastidiosa epidemiology
Cicadas are prominent insects in the Mediterranean basin environments, including in olive orchards. The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited vector-borne plant pathogen that was introduced into southern Italy, causing significant losses of olive trees. Cicadas are xylem-sap feeders and potential vectors of X.
