APPS-Qld Seminar Series: Dr Tuan Nguyen, Diagnosis of African Citrus Greening
Channel: Open Plant Pathology
Date: 02/08/2021

African citrus greening (or also known as African greening) is a serious, debilitating, insect-transmissible citrus disease associated with the heat sensitive, phloem-limited, non-cultured bacterial species _Candidatus_ Liberibacter africanus (CLaf). To fill the Australian capability and capacity gaps for diagnostics of African greening, I undertook a two-week diagnostic training at Citrus Research International (CRI), Nelspruit, South Africa in June 2019. This presentation will show what I had gained from the training.  Presented for the Queensland Chapter of the Australasian Plant Pathology Society (APPS).
