Abstract
Plant Biosecurity: Diagnosis in Plant Pathology
Highlights
Plant biosecurity is a strategic socio-economic issue concerning the protection of natural and managed plant systems from alien and emerging indigenous pests [1]
Many intergovernmental organizations promoting cooperation in plant health have been established within the framework of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC, https://www.ippc.int/)
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is a typical example of a disease that requires careful monitoring
Summary
Plant biosecurity is a strategic socio-economic issue concerning the protection of natural and managed plant systems from alien and emerging indigenous pests [1]. A plant biosecurity system requires early detection, accurate diagnosis and a rapid response to prevent the establishment and dispersal of pests, minimizing the subsequent impact. In Europe and the Mediterranean basin, the “European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization” (EPPO http://www.eppo.int), develops international strategies against the introduction and spread of dangerous pests, promotes pest control methods, and drafts diagnostic protocols. Plants can show unspecific symptoms that can be confused with different biotic or abiotic stresses, as in the case of symptoms caused in Citrus by ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ spp.
