Paper doi abstract bibtex Containment measures meant to stop a rampant bacterium have been frequently delayed. [Excerpt] A vicious bacterium that is devastating southern Italy's valuable olive groves is still spreading years after it was identified, because of opposition to measures meant to contain the pathogen. [...] [::Quarantine needed] The bacterium had never been seen in Europe until it was identified in 2013 in southern Puglia. [] The outbreak was immediately subject to stringent European Union quarantine regulations, which were agreed on with the Italian government. [] The original containment plan required infected trees to be uprooted and destroyed, as well as the destruction of apparently healthy trees surrounding them. It also mandated the spraying of insecticides to control spittlebugs, which transfer the bacteria between trees. [] But environmentalists and some farmers have objected to these practices, and some have claimed that the containment measures were based on false science, inflaming tensions with researchers trying to understand and track the disease. [...] And in spring this year, mayors of eight communities in Puglia publicly declared that they would not comply with the insecticide requirement. The area affected by the bacterium has expanded steadily since 2013. [...] [::Next steps debated] [...] In June, some parliamentarians formally deposited documents at the Senate, one of Italy's two houses of parliament, which challenged the scientific evidence on which Xylella management plans have been based and called for a Senate inquiry into whether scientists have misled the public. These claims were repudiated the following month, in an independent analysis commissioned by the national science academy, the Accademia dei Lincei. [...]
