LIBEPS
The Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (Lso) bacterium primarily spreads through psyllid insect vectors. It’s generally not transmitted through seeds in Solanaceae species, though it has been reported to spread through carrot seeds. In Europe, Lso infects crops like carrots and celery, where it’s transmitted by psyllid species.
5 Known Hosts
Solanum lycopersicum
tomato
No
LIBEPS-2,CABI CPC
This bacterium requires the Bactericera trigonica or Trioza apicalis psyllid for transmision. There is no evidence that seed is a pathway.
Capsicum annuum
pepper
No
LIBEPS-2,CABI CPC
This bacterium requires the Bactericera trigonica or Trioza apicalis psyllid for transmision. There is no evidence that seed is a pathway.
Daucus carota
carrot
uncertain
LIBEPS-3,CABI CPC,ISF RPLD
This bacterium requires the Bactericera trigonica or Trioza apicalis psyllid for transmission. There is one report of possible seed as a pathway, (LIBESP-3) that has yet to be substantiated.
