title = "Xylella fastidiosa: Insights into an emerging plant pathogen",
abstract = "The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa re-emerged as a plant pathogen of global importance in 2013 when it was first associated with an olive tree disease epidemic in Italy. The current threat to Europe and the Mediterranean basin, as well as other world regions, has increased as multiple X. fastidiosa genotypes have now been detected in Italy, France, and Spain. Although X. fastidiosa has been studied in the Americas for more than a century, there are no therapeutic solutions to suppress disease development in infected plants. Furthermore, because X. fastidiosa is an obligatory plant and insect vector colonizer, the epidemiology and dynamics of each pathosystem are distinct. They depend on the ecological interplay of plant, pathogen, and vector and on how interactions are affected by biotic and abiotic factors, including anthropogenic activities and policy decisions. Our goal with this review is to stimulate discussion and novel research by contextualizing available knowledge on X. fastidiosa and how it may be applicable to emerging diseases.",

note = "Funding Information: We acknowledge the recent and ongoing support for our research on X. fastidiosa by the Pierce{\textquoteright}s Disease and Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter Board and the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the United States Department of Agriculture, the Horizon 2020 program of the European Commission (XF-ACTORS), and the University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources. A.S. is currently supported by a Marie Sk{\l}odowska-Curie Fellowship (European Union{\textquoteright}s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program, grant agreement 707013). Support by these agencies did not shape our questions or views. We thank and acknowledge Sandy Purcell, Bruce Kirkpatrick, and Steve Lindow for their influence on our thinking and desire to pursue research questions aimed at helping those affected by X. fastidiosa diseases. We also thank Christian Verni{\`e}re and Philippe Roumagnac for their insightful comments on this review. Publisher Copyright: Copyright {\textcopyright} 2018 by Annual Reviews.
