Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Plant Health Panel has released a statement on the status of Vitis spp., Citrus spp. and Quercus ilex as hosts for Xylella fastidiosa strain CoDiRO, and on the host status of Phoenix roebelenii for Xylella fastidiosa. Concerning Vitis spp., current shreds of evidence provide sufficient demonstration that three varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Negroamaro and Primitivo) do not support a systemic infection by the CoDiRO […]
