This book chapter covers three main bacterial diseases, Citrus canker, Citrus Variegated Chlorosis and Huanglongbing. For each disease subjects covered are history, etiology and diagnostics, pathogen and molecular biology, epidemiology, and disease control/management. THE GENUS CITRUS is designed to serve as a reference book for all undergraduates, students, professionals, researchers and specialists focused on citrus, citriculture and horticulture, as well as those working in the various aspects of the industry seeking to expand their knowledge and appreciation for the crop that provides their livelihood.
