Update of the Xylella spp. host plant database - Systematic literature search up to 31 December 2023.

This scientific report provides an update of the Xylella spp. host plant database, aiming to provide information and scientific support to risk assessors, risk managers and researchers dealing with Xylella spp. Upon a mandate of the European Commission, EFSA created and regularly updates a database of host plant species of Xylella spp. The current mandate covers the period 2021-2026. This report is related to the 10th version of the database published in Zenodo in the EFSA Knowledge Junction community, covering literature published from 1 July 2023 up to 31 December 2023, and recent Europhyt outbreak notifications. Informative data have been extracted from 39 selected publications. Sixteen new host plants, five genera and one family were identified and added to the database. They were naturally infected by X. fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa or unknown either in Portugal or the United States. No additional data were retrieved for X. taiwanensis, and no additional multilocus sequence types (STs) were identified worldwide. New information on the tolerant/resistant response of plant species to X. fastidiosa infection were added to the database. The Xylella spp. host plant species were listed in different categories based on the number and type of detection methods applied for each finding. The overall number of Xylella spp. host plants determined with at least two different detection methods or positive with one method either by sequencing or pure culture isolation (category A), reaches now 451 plant species, 204 genera and 70 families. Such numbers rise to 712 plant species, 312 genera and 89 families if considered regardless of the detection methods applied (category E).

This scientific report provides an update of the Xylella spp. host plant database, aiming to provide information and scientific support to risk assessors, risk managers and researchers dealing with Xylella spp. Upon a mandate of the European Commission, EFSA created and regularly updates a database of host plant species of Xylella spp. The current mandate covers the period 2021-2026. This report is related to the eighth version of the database published in Zenodo in the EFSA Knowledge Junction community, covering literature published from 1 July 2022 up to 31 December 2022, and recent Europhyt outbreak notifications. Informative data have been extracted from 21 selected publications. Twelve new host plants were identified and added to the database. Nine plant species were reported from Portugal and naturally infected by subsp. multiplex or unknown (i.e. not reported). Three plant species were successfully artificially infected by subsp. fastidiosa. No additional data were retrieved for X. taiwanensis, and no additional STs were identified worldwide. New information on the tolerant/resistant response of plant species to X. fastidiosa infection were added to the database. The overall number of Xylella spp. host plants determined with at least two different detection methods or positive with one method (between sequencing and pure culture isolation) reaches now 433 plant species, 197 genera and 68 families. Such numbers rise to 690 plant species, 306 genera and 88 families if considered regardless of the detection methods applied.

No additional data were retrieved for X. taiwanensis. Two new STs (namely ST88 and ST89) belonging to subspecies multiplex were identified in host plants in natural conditions, and new information on the tolerant/resistant response of plant species to X. fastidiosa infection were added to the database. The overall number of Xylella spp. host plants determined with at least two different detection methods or positive with one method (between sequencing and pure culture isolation) reaches now 423 plant species, 194 genera and 68 families. Such numbers rise to 679 plant species, 304 genera and 88 families if considered regardless of the detection methods applied.

Eleven new host plants were identified and added to the database: six plant species naturally infected by subsp. multiplex of X. fastidiosa in the EU (France, Italy and Portugal) and five plant species artificially infected by different X. fastidiosa subspecies (multiplex, pauca, fastidiosa and sandyi). No additional data were retrieved for X. taiwanensis. New information on the tolerant/resistant response of plant species to X. fastidiosa infection were added, while no new STs have been identified worldwide compared to the previous update published in January 2022. The overall number of Xylella spp. host plants determined with at least two different detection methods or positive with one method (between: sequencing, pure culture isolation) reaches now 412 plant species, 190 genera and 68 families. Such numbers rise to 664 plant species, 299 genera and 88 families if considered regardless of the detection methods applied.

Update of the Xylella spp. host plant database - systematic literature search up to 31 December 2020.

Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to create and regularly update a database of host plant species of Xylella spp. Complying with an extension of the previous mandate, which now covers the period 2021-2026, the current version of Xylella spp. host plant database updates the previous release dated April 2020. Informative data have been extracted from 86 recent publications retrieved through an extensive literature search. This report is related to the fourth version of the database published in Zenodo in the EFSA Knowledge Junction community, covering articles selected from: a systematic literature review conducted up to 31 December 2020, Europhyt outbreak notifications up to 18 March 2021 and communications from research groups and national authorities. Forty-three new host plant species of X. fastidiosa, identified through the data extracted from the selected publications, have been added to the database. Those plant species were reported as naturally or artificially infected by subsp. fastidiosa, multiplex, pauca or unknown (i.e. not reported in the publication) subspecies of X. fastidiosa. New information on the tolerant/resistant response of plant species or varieties to X. fastidiosa infection is also reported. No additional data were retrieved for X. taiwanensis. This new version of the database includes no update on the number of Sequence Types (STs) identified so far, which remains unchanged. The overall number of Xylella spp. host plants determined with at least two different detection methods or positive with one method (between: sequencing, pure culture isolation) reaches now 385 plant species, 179 genera and 67 families. Such numbers rise to 638 plant species, 289 genera and 87 families if considered regardless of the detection method applied. The database will be issued twice per year, with the aim to provide information and scientific support to risk assessors, risk managers and researchers dealing with Xylella spp.
