Abstract

Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to create and regularly update a database of host plant species of Xylella spp. The mandate now covers the period 2021–2026 and EFSA is requested to release an update of the database twice per year. The aim of the database is to provide information and scientific support to risk assessors, risk managers and researchers dealing with Xylella spp. This report is related to the fifth version of the database published in Zenodo in the EFSA Knowledge Junction community, covering literature published from 1 January 2021 up to 30 June 2021, and recent Europhyt outbreak notifications. Informative data have been extracted from 41 selected publications. Nineteen new host plants were identified and added to the database since the previous update published in June 2021. Those plant species were reported naturally infected by subsp. multiplex or unknown (i.e. not reported in the publication) of X. fastidiosa in the UE (France, Spain and Portugal). 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 May 2021. 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) now reaches 407 plant species, 185 genera and 68 families. Such numbers raise to 655 plant species, 293 genera and 88 families if considered regardless of the detection method applied.

Keywords: Xylella spp., Xylella fastidiosa, host plants, database, data extraction, subspecies, sequence types

1. Introduction

1.1. Background and Terms of Reference as provided by the requestor

In the context of Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, EFSA was asked by the European Commission DG SANTE to provide technical assistance in the field of plant health as regards the regulated harmful organism Xylella fastidiosa, as per letter to EFSA’s Director dated 30 June 2016 (Reference ARES(2016)3126989).

EFSA was requested to further specify and update the host plants database of X. fastidiosa available in 2016 (EFSA, 2016) taking into account the different X. fastidiosa subspecies and strains (with particular reference to the European isolates), with the inclusion of information on non‐susceptible plants and varieties and negative results of diagnostic tests when available. EFSA was requested to maintain and update this database periodically and to make new releases available on the EFSA website, together with a Scientific Report. The database should focus on plants confirmed to be infected by at least two detection methods in field conditions or via vector transmission under experimental conditions. Such request was for the period 2016–2020.

This mandate was extended by the European Commission DG SANTE for the period 2021–2026, with the aim to continue the update of that database. EFSA is requested to deliver two updates per year of the database.

1.2. Interpretation of the Terms of Reference

European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) delivered in September 2018 a renovated database of host plants of Xylella spp., taking into account both species of the genus Xylella (X. fastidiosa and X. taiwanensis) (EFSA, 2018), which was last updated in June 2021 (EFSA, 2021). Raw data and interactive reports were published in Zenodo 1 in the EFSA Knowledge Junction community and in Microstrategy 2 platform, together with a Scientific Report.

As per terms of reference (ToR), EFSA was requested to maintain and update the Xylella spp. host plant database for the period 2021–2026, and to publish new releases online together with a report twice per year. This Scientific Report provides a new update on the database of host plants of Xylella spp. published in June 2021 (EFSA, 2021). An extensive literature search was conducted to retrieve recent publications on the topic and new informative data on host plant species of Xylella spp. were collected. Such report provides information on the literature review and a detailed view on the currently known host plants of Xylella spp.

2. Data and methodologies

The methodologies developed for the Xylella spp. host plant database published in 2018 (EFSA, 2018) were applied in this report.

The process was divided in the following steps:

  • Extensive literature search to identify relevant references.

  • Selection of studies based on title, abstract and full text.

  • Data extraction of relevant information.

  • Data analysis and reporting.

2.1. Extensive literature search

The review question ‘Which plant species can host Xylella / Xylella associated disease?’ was broken down into key stages using the P/O conceptual model described in the EFSA systematic review guidance (EFSA, 2010):

  • Population of interest (P)

The population of interest is that of plant species, worldwide.

  • Outcome (condition of interest) (O)

The outcome (condition of interest) is that of Xylella spp. infection.

Two main elements were considered for the extensive literature search: the sources of information (Table 1) to be consulted and the search strategy (Table 2).

2.1.1. Information sources

The search strategy was run in all databases listed in Table 1 via the Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) and Scopus platforms with no language or document type restriction.

2.1.2. Search terms

The syntax of the search string, developed for the Xylella spp. host plants database published in 2018 (EFSA, 2018), was adapted and run into each platform databases listed in Table 1 on 29 July 2021. As the scope of the search was to retrieve references published after December 2020, the selected time span was from 1 January 2021 up to 30 June 2021. The search strings and the number of retrieved references are shown in Table 2.

The collected records were downloaded and imported into an EndNote X9 library (Clarivate Analytics). Duplicates and references already included in the update published in June 2021 (EFSA, 2021) were removed using EndNote X9 and the remaining references were uploaded on DistillerSR online 3 together with the full texts in portable document format (pdf).

Ten Europhyt outbreak notifications 4 (accessed on 17 September 2021) were also included.

2.2. Study selection

The collected references were screened for relevance in two steps:

  1. Title and abstract screening.

  2. Full‐text screening of the references that passed the first step.

Inclusion/exclusion criteria were applied in each step and two reviewers worked in parallel screening the references.

The first step required the reviewers to answer two questions, listed in Table 3, considering only title and abstract of the references. The aim of this step was to select only references presenting original research data on Xylella or Xylella‐associated disease.

Table 3.

Inclusion/exclusion criteria for title and abstract screening

2.4. Data warehouse

A harmonised data model has been established to collect data on Xylella spp. host plants. The aim was to establish a harmonised data flow for the collection and the collation of an extensive literature review generated data in the plant health domain. Data are stored in EFSA Scientific Data Warehouse (S‐DWH), after that an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) procedure is applied in order to harmonise and calculated the statistics.

2.4.1. Data management

The collected data have been submitted to the EFSA Data Collection Framework (DCF). DCF is the upfront system in the EFSA pipeline of data collection tools and allows a first step of harmonisation against the EFSA controlled reference terminology (aka EFSA catalogues). Data have been then included in the S‐DWH by means of a standardised Extract Transform Load (ETL) procedure and they have been further analysed and managed to generate needed statistics.

Data are available as interactive reports on the Microstrategy platform at the following link: https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/microstrategy/xylella

Raw data and related metadata are published in Zenodo in the EFSA Knowledge Junction community, this report refers to Version 5 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1339343).

2.4.2. Data reporting

Data reporting was designed to distinguish the Xylella spp. host plant species, based on the number and type of detection methods applied for each finding. Different combinations of detection methods were considered:

A. Plant species positive with at least two detection methods (among: symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing and pure culture isolation) or positive with one method (between: sequencing, pure culture isolation).

B. The same as point A, but also including microscopy: plant species positive with at least two detection methods (among: microscopy, symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing and pure culture isolation) or positive with one method (between: sequencing, pure culture isolation).

C. Plant species positive with at least one detection method (among: symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing and pure culture isolation).

D. Plant species positive with at least one detection method including microscopy (microscopy, symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing and pure culture isolation).

E. All positives plant species reported, regardless of the detection methods (positive records but without the detection method specified, symptom observations, microscopy, symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing, pure culture isolation).

3. Results

3.1. Results of the literature review

The extensive literature search was conducted on 29 July 2021 on Web of Science and Scopus platforms and 220 references were collected. Duplicates and references already included in EFSA (2021) were removed and 113 references were uploaded in DistillerSR and screened for relevance. Results of the screening process are shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1.

Figure 1

Flow diagram of the screening process

In the first step, i.e. title and abstract screening, 67 references were excluded either because they do not focus on Xylella or Xylella‐associated diseases and/or they are not primary research studies. The selected 46 references were subjected to the second step of the screening process, i.e. the full text screening. Thirty‐one references, in which Xylella spp. is studied is association with a host plant, were selected. Ten Europhyt outbreak notifications 4 containing informative data were also included in the data extraction. Totally, 41 references (listed in Appendix E) were included in this update of the database and from which informative data listed in Table 5 were extracted. Data extracted from the reference Moya‐Hernandez et al. (2020) were considered not confirmed (i.e. included in the data extraction but excluded from the data analysis) and additional information was requested to the authors.

3.2. Update of records already included in the database

Scientific names of plant species, genera and families are reported, as far as possible, accordingly to the taxonomy of the EPPO Global Database that is constantly being updated. Therefore, changes of scientific names of plant species, genera and families in the Xylella spp. host plant database are related to the update of the taxonomy in the EPPO Global Database. This is the case of the EPPO code of the genus Rosmarinus (1RMSG) that has been deactivated, while all its species have been renamed and transferred to the genus Salvia (EPPO code 1SALG).

Records referring to Europhyt outbreak notifications, that may contain uncomplete data, are updated whenever additional information (e.g. further identification of the plant species, X. fastidiosa subspecies, ST, etc.) become available.

3.3. Host plant species of Xylella spp.

The updated numbers of host plant species, genera and families (according to the different categories reported in Section 2.4.2) are reported in Figure 2 and Table 6. The number of plant species raised from 385 to 407 according to category A [i.e. plant species positive with at least two detection methods (among: symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing and pure culture isolation) or positive with one method (between: sequencing, pure culture isolation)] and from 638 to 655 plant species of category E (i.e. all positives plant species reported, regardless of the detection methods).

Compared to the previous update of the database published in May 2021 (EFSA, 2021), 19 plant species (eight genera and two families) were identified as new hosts of X. fastidiosa, according to category A. Those plant species, genera and families were not previously reported in the database. Almost all the new hosts reported in this update are plants native to the European or Mediterranean areal (POWO, 2021), often distinctive to the habitat where the natural infections were found. Details of those new hosts of X. fastidiosa are summarised in Table 7.

The new plant species were all naturally infected and identified in the EU (France, Spain and Portugal). Most of them were infected by subspecies multiplex, while for few host plants the subspecies was not reported in the publication (i.e. ‘unknown’). The new genera and families were all infected by subspecies multiplex. Five new genera were reported in France, while the remaining three new genera and the two new families were reported in Portugal.

The overall number of host plant species infected naturally, artificially and in unspecified conditions by the different X. fastidiosa subspecies and according to the different categories are reported in Tables 8, 9 and 10. The plant species behind the numbers shown in those tables are listed in.

Appendices A, B and C. In those appendices, the full lists of plant species infected by the different X. fastidiosa subspecies naturally, artificially and in not specified conditions according to the five categories are shown.

The highest number of plant species naturally infected is recorded for X. fastidiosa subsp. multiplex (196 according to category A, up to 202 for category E), followed by subsp. pauca and subsp. fastidiosa. In artificial infection, 40 plant species (category A, and 74 for category E) were successfully infected by X. fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa. Nineteen plant species were artificially infected by subsp. pauca and by subsp. multiplex (category A), up to 27 and 25 for category E (for pauca and multiplex, respectively).

No new host plants were reported for the pathogen species Xylella taiwanensis, that so far was recorded only in Pyrus pyrifolia plants.

3.4. X. fastidiosa sequence types and host plants association

The full list of plant species infected by the different X. fastidiosa Sequence Types (ST) in natural, artificial and not specified conditions is reported in Appendix D. For each plant species, the number of records reporting infection by that specific ST is counted. For natural infection, it is also reported the country where the plant species have been identified, whereas for artificial and not specified infection only the total number of records is present in the appendix.

Totally, 1,843 records reporting information on 235 plant species infected by 87 different STs have been reported in the database. Most of the records (1,380) refer to natural infections that were reported in North, Central and South America (United States of America, Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Brazil and Argentina), Europe (Portugal, Spain, France and Italy). The highest number of records for artificial infections belong to STs of subsp. pauca (189 records). While ST1 (subsp. fastidiosa) still remains the most used ST in artificial infections, now with 168 records, ST53 (subsp. pauca) is the most reported genotype in natural infections (367).

Compared to the previous version of the database (EFSA, 2021), no new STs have been identified worldwide. ST87 belonging to subsp. multiplex and identified in 2018 in Tuscany (Italy) hence remains the last sequence type identified so far, and therefore included in our database.

3.5. Tolerant and resistant response of plant species

Information on tolerant and resistant response of plant species to X. fastidiosa infection have been also reported in the database. The list of plant genera and species for which tolerant and resistant response have been identified is reported in Table 11. Nineteen additional records that include this information have been inserted in the database compared to the previous version (EFSA, 2021), most of them belonging to the genus Olea. Information on tolerant/resistant status is now reported for 70 plant species with a total number of 631 records.

The most studied genera are Vitis, Citrus and Prunus (345, 175 and 58 records, respectively), confirming the important economic value of these crop plant species. New information on tolerant and resistant responses have been made available with reference to the Olea genus, which now gathers 25 records.

To the aim of this study, different tolerant/resistant response to X. fastidiosa infection has been grouped into 11 categories, as reported in Table 12. Those categories include the plant response/s for which the authors of the publication considered that plant as tolerant/resistant to X. fastidiosa infection. One hundred and twenty‐four publications, which match 631 records, for the most part (370) reporting artificial infections, return information on tolerance and resistance outcome to X. fastidiosa infection. In 43 publications, the authors consider the plant tolerant or resistant, but without adding further details, whereas in 22 publications (and 170 records), the plant is designated tolerant or resistant based on a lower bacterial population it harbours. In 163 cases, this finding comes from artificial infections. The lack of infection (78 records) and the lack or reduction of symptoms (76 records) are the two most reported tolerant/resistant outcomes in natural infections.

4. Conclusions

Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to create, maintain and regularly update a database of host plant species of Xylella spp. This Scientific Report summarises the most interesting information reported in the new version of the database (Version 5).

An extensive literature search was performed including all scientific papers published up to 30 June 2021, as well as additional Europhyt outbreak notifications (last accessed on 17 September 2021).

By these searches, 41 publications were selected and informative data were extracted.

Nineteen host plant species, eight genera and two families were identified as new hosts of X. fastidiosa. Those plant species, genera and families were not previously reported as hosts of X. fastidiosa. All those new host plant species were naturally infected and identified in the EU (France, Portugal and Spain). The new host plants were found to be infected by the X. fastidiosa subsp. multiplex or not identified subspecies (unknown/not reported in the study). Compared to the previous version of the database (EFSA, 2021), no new STs have been identified worldwide and no new data were retrieved for X. taiwanensis that, up to now, still remains reported only in Pyrus pyrifolia plants.

The overall number of Xylella spp. host plants now reach 407 plant species, 185 genera and 68 families for category A [i.e. plant species positive with at least two detection methods (among: symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing and pure culture isolation) or positive with one method (between: sequencing, pure culture isolation)], till 655 plant species, 293 genera and 88 families for category E (i.e. all positives plant species reported, regardless of the detection methods).

Information on tolerant/resistant status was reported for 70 plant species in 124 publications, with a total number of 631 records. The economically important Vitis, Citrus and Prunus genera are still the most studied and reported plant taxa, with a growing interest in resistance responses to X. fastidiosa infection in the genus Olea, following the massive outbreak in Salento, Italy.

In 2022, the EFSA database on Xylella spp. host plants will be updated twice with the aim to provide useful information and scientific support to risk assessors, risk managers and researchers dealing with Xylella spp.

Data are available as interactive reports on the Microstrategy platform at the following link: https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/microstrategy/xylella

Raw data and related metadata are published in Zenodo in the EFSA Knowledge Junction community, this report refers to Version 5 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1339343).

A. Plant species positive with at least two detection methods (among: symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing and pure culture isolation) or positive with one method (between: sequencing, pure culture isolation).

B. The same as point A, but also including microscopy: plant species positive with at least two detection methods (among: microscopy, symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing and pure culture isolation) or positive with one method (between: sequencing, pure culture isolation).

C. Plant species positive with at least one detection method (among: symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing and pure culture isolation).

D. Plant species positive with at least one detection method including microscopy (microscopy, symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing and pure culture isolation).

E. All positives plant species reported, regardless of the detection methods (positive records but without the detection method specified, symptom observations, microscopy, symptoms observation on the test plant in experimental vector transmission, ELISA, other immunological techniques, PCR‐based methods, sequencing, pure culture isolation).
