Xylella fastidiosa: Μολυσμένα δένδρα ελιάς από φυτώρια της Ισπανίας στο Βέλγιο
Η φυτοϋγειονομική υπηρεσία του Βελγίου γνωστοποίησε στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση και στα κράτη- μέλη τη διαπίστωση του επιβλαβούς οργανισμού καραντίνας Xylella fastidiosa σε δύο παρτίδες φυτών ελιάς που διακινήθηκαν από φυτώριο της περιοχής του Αλικάντε (Περιφέρεια της Βαλένθιας) και σε μια παρτίδα φυτών ελιάς που διακινήθηκαν από φυτώριο της περιοχής της Σεβίλλης (Περιφέρεια της Ανδαλουσίας) της Ισπανίας σε φυτωριακή επιχείρηση του Βελγίου.
Τα διακινούμενα φυτά συνοδεύονταν από φυτοϋγειονομικά διαβατήρια, τα οποία είχαν εκδοθεί από τις αρμόδιες φυτοϋγειονομικές υπηρεσίες των Περιφερειών της Βαλένθια και Ανδαλουσίας αντίστοιχα.
Στη χώρα μας δεν έχει διαπιστωθεί η παρουσία του Xylella fastidiosa. Οι εμπλεκόμενοι φορείς οφείλουν να διασφαλίσουν με κάθε τρόπο την τήρηση της φυτοϋγειονομικής νομοθεσίας. Μη τήρηση της φυτοϋγειονομικής νομοθεσίας συνεπάγεται νομικές κυρώσεις, καταστροφή του φυτικού κεφαλαίου της χώρας και σημαντικό πλήγμα στις εξαγωγές.

The CSIC and the olive sector join forces to fight against the bacterium 'Xylella fastidiosa'
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήThe project seeks to create strategies of eradication, containment and control of this bacterium in the olive tree in Spain.
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is capable of infecting more than 500 species of plants worldwide and causes incurable diseases in some of them with high economic value for agricultural production, such as the olive tree. Its great pathogenic potential has made it one of the great global threats to agriculture. A set of seven research organizations, coordinated by the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), has signed an agreement with the Interprofessional Organization of Spanish Olive Oil to develop a research project focused on creating strategies for eradication, containment and control of This bacterium in the olive tree in Spain.
This agreement is part of a national project of the State R & D + I Program Oriented to the Challenges of the Society of the Ministry of Science, Research and Universities composed of 14 Spanish institutions, among which is the CSIC, which addresses the study of diseases caused by Xylella fastidiosa in the main crops affected.
"In Europe Xylella fastidiosa affects more than 76 species of plants and it has been proven that cross-infections can occur in non-usual host species, and in places where there are several subspecies of this bacterium there is a risk of genetic recombination" , researcher of the CSIC Blanca Landa, of the Institute of Sustainable Agriculture (IAS-CSIC) , warns about the danger of this pathogen .
Originally from the American continent, the presence of X. fastidiosa has been confirmed in recent years . in different parts of Europe and Asia. Since its detection for the first time in southern Italy in 2013, the bacterium has been identified on the island of Corsica and on the French Riviera, as well as in different Spanish regions. The first detection in Spain took place in November 2016 in a garden center in Mallorca and later its presence has been verified in a large part of this island, as well as in Ibiza, where it has affected crops such as almonds, grapes and olive tree and diverse typical species of the mediterranean flora. In continental Spain, since June 2017, it has been present in the province of Alicante, where it has mainly affected the almond tree and six wild and ornamental species, and more recently, in April of this year,
"The genetic diversity of the different detections of this bacterium in the European Union, with subspecies and strains belonging to several genetic groups, is an evident proof that different independent introductions have taken place between them, which highlights the importance of combating this pathogen immediately, "concludes the researcher.
