WHAT IS CITRUS CANKER?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Citrus canker is a serious bacterial disease of commercial varieties of citrus, and relatives, caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri. The disease affects the leaves, twigs and fruit causing the leaves to drop and fruit to fall to the ground before it ripens.

Citrus canker has resulted in heavy economic losses to citrus industries across the globe, due to damage to trees, reduced fruit production and access to export markets and increased cost of management.

Outbreaks of this disease have previously been eradicated from Queensland and the Northern Territory at great cost to industry and growers. The last detection was in Emerald in May 2005 and Australia was declared free of citrus canker in 2009.

The islands of Torres Strait provide a potential pathway for serious pests such as citrus canker to get into Australia from countries to our north.
