Real-time detection of Phytophthora nicotianae and P. citrophthora in citrus roots and soil
TL;DR: Two primers, specific for Phytophthora nicotianae and P. citrophthora, were modified to obtain Scorpion primers for real-time identification and detection of both pathogens in citrus nursery soils and roots and showed the degree of sensitivity was similar to that of traditional detection methods based on the use of selective media.

Identification of three potential insect vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in southern Italy.
Toufic Elbeaino,Thaer Yaseen,Franco Valentini,Issam Eddine Ben Moussa,Valerio Mazzoni,Anna Maria D’Onghia +5 more
TL;DR: The detection of X. fastidiosa in P. spumarius and, for the first time, in N. lineolatus, indicates potential vectoring roles ofThese insects for the spread of the bacterium in Puglia, and further investigations and specific infectivity trials are required to definitively determine the roles of these insects as effective vectors of this pathogen.
Development of Real-Time Isothermal Amplification Assays for On-Site Detection of Phytophthora infestans in Potato Leaves

TL;DR: Real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assays were developed targeting the internal transcribed spacer 2 region of the ribosomal DNA of Phytophthora infestans, the potato late blight causal agent and will contribute to improved late blight diagnosis and early detection of infections and facilitate prompt management decisions.

On-site detection of Xylella fastidiosa in host plants and in "spy insects" using the real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification method.
Thaer Yaseen,Sandro Drago,Franco Valentini,Toufic Elbeaino,Giuseppe Stampone,Michele Digiaro,Anna Maria D’Onghia +6 more
TL;DR: An on-site real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (real-time LAMP) was developed for detecting X. fastidiosa in host plants and insects and proved to be “user friendly”, displaying the advantages to be an on- site detection method of easy handling, rapid execution and low cost.

Multilocus sequence typing of Xylella fastidiosa isolated from olive affected by “olive quick decline syndrome” in Italy
Toufic Elbeaino,Franco Valentini,Raied Abou Kubaa,Peter Moubarak,Thaer Yaseen,Michele Digiaro +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate molecular divergence of this olive bacterium with all other strains yet reported and confirm the genetic variance of Xf from olive by generating a novel sequence type profile (ST53).
