Abstract
ABSTRACT Huanglongbing, or citrus greening, is a devastating disease of citrus plants recently spreading worldwide, which is caused by an uncultivable bacterial pathogen, “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus,” and vectored by a phloem-sucking insect, Diaphorina citri . We investigated the infection density dynamics of “ Ca . Liberibacter asiaticus” in field populations of D. citri
