Distribution, inoculum sources and vector species of ’Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ in Finland

Liberibacter 4

Aim is to study host plant and psyllid vector range of CLso bacteria in Finland as well as genetic variation of the bacteria and their ability survive in low temperatures.

The results from the study aims to outline CLso-bacterial reservoirds in farming environment, and to determine whether psyllids other than the carrot psyllid can transmit the bacteria. Knowledge abouot the genetic variation helps to classify CLso-findings quickly and accurately.
