Synopsis (short abstract) The diseases caused by viruses, viroids, bacteria and phytoplasms resulting in important economic losses are widely disseminated globally as a result of their propagation by grafting without sanitary control on the trees taken as source of the buds. Top-working is also a major form in which all graft-transmissible pathogens are spread. Although insect vectors exist for some of the pathogens, man has been undoubtedly their main transmitter.

The citrus industry is very important to the economy of Belize in terms of employment, livelihood of rural communities, exports and local production. Since May 2009, the industry has been under threat of devastation from Huanglongbing (HLB), formerly known as Citrus Greening Disease. In response to the outbreak, industry stakeholders including growers, government and processors have undertaken a national response to reduce the incidence and spread of the disease, which is vectored by an insect c alled the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri. All citrus varieties are susceptible to HLB and there is currently no known cure for the disease. Management of the disease (via reduced incidence of the vector and improved plant health) is the only viable option to mitigate the impact of HLB on the production and productivity of the groves.
