Data extraction structure

Extracted data Description
General information In this section, the general information about the study is reported
RecordID Unique number allocated to each row
RefID Unique number allocated to each reference within the DistillerSR software
Reference Full reference
Publication year Year of the publication
Starting year Starting year of the study, as reported in the publication
Ending year Ending year of the study, as reported in the publication
Botanical identification The botanical identification of the plant, both as reported in the publication and according to the updated taxonomy of the EPPO Global Database, is reported in this section
Plant EPPO code EPPO code of the plant species, from the EPPO global databasea
Plant family Plant family, from the EPPO global databasea
Plant genus Plant genus, from the EPPO global databasea
Plant species Plant species, from the EPPO global databasea
Reported plant species Name of the plant species as reported in the publication
Common name Common name of the plant species, as reported in the publication
Cultivar Cultivar or plant variety, as reported in the publication
Infection information Detailed information about the infection and location of the plant is reported in this section
Infection method (Level 1) The infection of the plant can be natural, artificial or not specified
Infection method (Level 2) Subcategories of natural infection: during survey activity, during research activity. ‘Research activity’ is used when plants are planted under natural inoculum pressure and infection development was monitored without interfering. Subcategories of artificial infection: mechanical inoculation (detailed at level 3a), vector transmission (detailed at level 3b)
Mechanical inoculation (Level 3a) Subcategories of mechanical inoculation: budding, grafting, needle, root uptake, stem absorption, syringe
Infection vector species (Level 3b) Insect species used in the artificial vector transmission
Location type The place where the plant was placed or found: natural habitat, greenhouse, screenhouse, interception, not specified
Geographical information In this section, the geographical location of the plant is reported, as detailed as possible. In case of intercepted plant, the reported location is the geographical origin of the plant and not the country and location where it was intercepted
Country code From the EFSA catalogue
Country From the EFSA catalogue
Location From the EFSA catalogue, with additional detailed information as reported in the publication
Coordinates explanation The reported coordinates (latitude and longitude) can represent the centroid of the area (region or country), or the exact location XY coordinates of the point of sample, or the near location XY coordinates based on village, town or identifiable geographical features (national park, lake, river etc.), or XY of study site coordinates indicates the centroid of the area sampled
Latitude Latitude as reported in the publication or derived from Google maps (use WGS84, decimal format)
Longitude Longitude as reported in the publication or derived from Google maps (use WGS84, decimal format)

Strain Name of the strain of Xylella spp., as reported in the publication
MLST (multilocus sequence type) Sequence type (ST) of Xylella fastidiosa, as reported in the publication. If the ST is inferred from another publication, a note is added in the genotyping comment
Genotyping comment Additional information retrieved in the publication about the Xylella spp. strain or sequence type
Methods of identification In this section, the identification methods applied to detect a Xylella spp. infection are listed. Eight detection methods were considered and for each of them the outcome of the analysis (positive or negative), together with the number of infected plants and the total number of analysed plants, were reported. Moreover, additional information could be added in the comment column beside each detection method
Symptoms Observation of symptoms in the plant, as reported in the publication
Symptoms expression in test plants Observation of symptom development in test plants after an attempt to transmit the pathogen through vectors
Culture Isolation of cultivable bacteria from tissue samples on solid culture media
Microscopy Observation of Xylella bacteria through microscopic analysis techniques
ELISA Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay
Other immunological techniques Immunological techniques other than ELISA
PCR‐based methods Polymerase chain‐reaction‐based methods (PCR, nested PCR, qPCR, etc.)
Sequencing Sequencing technique (Sanger, next generation sequencing, etc.) and sequence analysis (MLST, phylogenetic tree, etc.)
Host status Information about the tolerance and resistance response of the plant
Tolerance/Resistance reported Tolerant/Resistant status of the plant, as reported in the publication
Tolerance/Resistance category Categories describing the response of the tolerant/resistant plant: lack of infection or negative reading, Lack of systemic movement, Lack or reduction of symptoms, Lack or reduction of symptoms – Lower bacterial population, Lack or reduction of symptoms – Lower bacterial population – Lower disease incidence, Lack or reduction of symptoms – Lower disease incidence, Lower bacterial population, Lower bacterial population – Lower disease incidence, Lower disease incidence, Infection not persistent, Reported as tolerant/resistant (no details)
