bacterium
Brazil, China
Rice is considered the main host. It is known to be a wild or cultivated host in Poaceae.
XANTOR
Highly pathogenic strains eradicated in the US in late 1980's. (Recent strains of Xanthomonads on rice in LA and TX were genetically distinct from this pathvar and weakly pathogenic (XANTOR-10).
2 Known Hosts
Oryza sativa

Yes
XANTOR-1,XANTOR-4,XANTOR-8,XANTOR-10
Seed as a pathway is documented and accepted.
Yes
Culture plating, PCR, ELISA, IF, Liquid plating
These tests have not been validated or standardized.
XANTOR-2,XANTOR-3,XANTOR-4,XANTOR-6,XANTOR-7
Chemical, Cultural
Various seed treatments have been suggested. Phytosanitary control and quarantine measures have been important in preventing spread of the pathogen.

Bermuda grass is well documented as a wild host of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in rice production; however reports of seed transmission in this species could not be found.
Chemical, Cultural
Removal of plants and chemcial treatments during the growing season have proven effective.
