Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) causes a disease on banana (Musa spp.) and enset (Ensete known as xanthomonas wilt (BXW). Recent studies have shown that Xcm is strain of X. vasicola (Aritua et al., 2008). However, the status pathovars within species remains unclear. Prior to its discovery in Uganda October 2001, had been limited Ethiopia (first reported 1968). Since then has spread Democratic Republic Congo Rwanda (observed May 2004 September 2005 respectively). BXW can cause...
Artemisia annua is the source of artemisinin, an antimalarial compound recommended by World Health Organisation. Widely cultivated in China and Asia, a new crop for Africa largely limited to Kenya, Tanzania Uganda. African cultivation anticipated increase response growing demands artemisinin-based drugs suitable environments A. have been identified several countries (Simon et al., 2006). Few pests pathogens are recorded from consideration has given its potential parasites. A disease was...
Asiatic canker caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. citri, a quarantine pest in several countries (including the European Union), strongly impacts both national citrus markets tropical and subtropical areas international trade. This bacterium induces erumpent, callus-like lesions often with water-soaked margin wide range of species causing premature fruit drop twig dieback. Long distance dispersal is mainly through infected propagative material role still debated. During inspection imported limes...
Xanthomonas nasturtii was first identified as the cause of black rot watercress (Nasturtium officinale) on plants grown in Florida, USA (Vicente et al., 2017). Similar symptoms had been reported earlier Hawaii (McHugh & Constantinides, 2004) and an unidentified sp. isolated Portugal 2003 from wild (Cruz Since 2017, crops southern Spain have occasionally exhibited small yellow leaf lesions around hydathodes, spots, V-shaped lesions, wilt, distortion senescence (Fig. 1). Symptoms were more...
