The article describes many of his outstanding contributions to the disciplines of microbiology and plant pathology predominately related to citrus pathology and specifically his many contributions working on a single disease, citrus huanglongbing, the most severe disease of citrus world one. He was one of the premier scientists worldwide on phytoplasma and fastidious bacterial diseases. He was and still is considered one of the world’s authorities on huanglongbing.
