First Report of Xylella Fastidiosa in the EPPO Region. EPPO 2014.
abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] In mid-October 2013, the NPPO of Italy informed the EPPO Secretariat of the first detection of Xylella fastidiosa (bacterium included on the EPPO A1 List since 1981) on its territory. In Southern Italy (near Lecce, Salento peninsula, Puglia region), quick decline symptoms were observed on olive trees (Olea europea). Investigations showed that symptomatic olive trees were generally affected by a complex of pests: X. fastidiosa, several fungal species belonging to the genus Phaeoacremonium and Phaemoniella, and Zeuzera pyrina (leopard moth). In Italy the disease has been called 'complesso del disseccamento rapido dell'olivo'. Although an unconfirmed record of X. fastidiosa in Kosovo was published in 1996, the presence of this bacterium had never previously been confirmed in Europe. A task force is being created in Italy to stop the spread of this new olive disease. As X. fastidiosa represents a very serious threat for the EPPO region, the EPPO Secretariat intends to provide on this page a brief description of the pathogen, as well as an easy access to specific EPPO data and other useful resources.
