- Asian citrus psyllid is a vector of a bacterial pathogen that causes an incurable and deadly disease of citrus called huanglongbing. This project will provide a web-based GIS view of urban and commercial citrus infestations of Asian citrus psyllid and infections of huanglongbing for California. The maps will be linked with a risk assessment and the economics of various control tactics to provide users with decision-making information. Statewide education will be provided to users (commercial growers, plant nurseries, landscapers, and the general public) to facilitate management of Asian citrus psyllid and huanglongbing.
