Rickettsia-related bacteria associated with papaya plants showing bunchy top disease in Cuba

2015-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Papaya bunchy top (PBT) disease has been associated with Rickettsia-related proteobacterium. To study the occurrence of this proteobacterium in Cuba, during 2012, we collected 264 samples from asymptomatic and symptomatic papaya trees in three regions of Cuba. Symptomatic tissue evaluated by transmission electron microscopy revealed Rickettsia-like morphology. PCR using rickettsial sdhA-specific primers amplified...
