What is an opportunist?

An "opportunist" is a population (fungi, bacteria, insects…) that takes advantage of a favourable environment to settle in, multiply and feed on it. It often develops when the natural defences of the affected organism are weakened — for genetic reasons or linked to context (water stress, deficiencies, nutritional imbalances, overcrowding…). This is typically the case in monocultures, where a single host plant, uniform and present in large numbers, offers ideal ground for it to spread.

Identification key : Phytoplasmas and phloem bacteria (Damage and symptoms on the host)

Scientific name : Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (also Liberibacter asiaticus)

Other names : Citrus greening, Yellow dragon disease

Bacterial disease of citrus caused by unculturable phloem bacteria, of which 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' is the most widespread, transmitted by psyllids such as Diaphorina citri. It causes an asymmetric yellow blotchy mottle of leaves, yellow shoots and small, misshapen, poorly coloured, bitter fruit. It is regarded as the most serious citrus disease worldwide and leads to decline and death of trees.

Crops affected : Grapefruit, Lemon tree, Mandarin tree, Orange tree
