Xylella fastidiosa is a major threat for agriculture.

This bacterium infects plants, causing a variety of diseases in wineyards, olive orchards and in over 300 other species.

This bacterium has been widespread in the Americas for many years and is also present in Asia.

In 2015, more than 200 000 ha (494 210 ac) of European crops were lost because of this bacterium.

The disease is transmitted from plant to plant by Xylem-feeding insects.

Although X. fastidiosa has been recognized as a serious pathogen, there is no effective cure.

In fact, the only way to slow down the propagation of the disease is to burn the infected tree and at risk trees around, and massively use pesticides.

Given the current risk of X. fastidiosa spreading, our project is to develop an effective and environmentally friendly cure for the disease.
