Survey assesses Xylella fastidiosa transmission in oak trees, suggesting risks for French forests.
Background : Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a plant xylem-inhabiting bacterial pathogen that may colonize a wide range of plants and cause diseases in various crops of economic importance. According to climate model predictions, most French area could be suitable to X. fastidiosa subsp. multiplex (Xfm). Strains of this subspecies are likely to cause serious damages to various plant species including forest and shade tree species such as oak. A sampling campaign was therefore conducted in 2020 and 2021 in French state forests.
