Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) is currently the most devastating citrus disease worldwide. HLB, first identified in Asia, and its insect vector, the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), are quickly spreading in citrus-producing areas in South America and North America. The main challenges for HLB control include the phloem-limited biology of Candidatus Liberibacter spp., the causal agent of HLB, which shields the pathogen from treatments, difficulty in controlling and containing the psyllid vectors, and lack of citrus varieties with resistance against HLB and ACP. This review is not intended to be comprehensive; instead, we focus on the virulence factors of Ca. L. asiaticus and the control approaches against HLB and ACP to complement other papers covering different aspects of HLB pathosystems of this issue.

Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus：毒力特征和控制策略

柑橘黄龙病（HLB）是目前全球最具破坏性的柑橘病害。HLB 最早在亚洲被发现，其昆虫载体亚洲柑橘木虱 (ACP) 正在南美洲和北美洲的柑橘产区迅速传播。HLB 控制的主要挑战包括韧皮部限制生物学，即 HLB 的病原体，保护病原体免受治疗，难以控制和控制木虱载体，以及缺乏对 HLB 和 HLB 具有抗性的柑橘品种。 ACP。本次审查并不全面；相反，我们关注 Ca 的毒力因子。L. asiaticus 以及针对 HLB 和 ACP 的控制方法，以补充涵盖本问题 HLB 病理系统不同方面的其他论文。
