Abstract excerpt
Citrus stubborn disease (CSD) is caused by a Gram-positive bacterium, Spiroplasma citri, and is an endemic, but manageable, citrus disease. CSD-affected trees are low yielding but a key problem is that its symptoms are similar to and easily mistaken for Huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating citrus disease controlled by quarantine and eradication.
