First observed more than a hundred years ago in Asia, the disease is a challenging threat due to its complexity, its destructiveness, the susceptibility of most commercial citrus species and cultivars regardless of rootstock, and the lack of an effective method for suppressing its causal agents or its insect vectors. HLB is associated with three species of the genus Liberibacter: Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas)

Areas of study include breeding for resistance to HLB, impact of HLB on flavor quality, vector control and transmission disruption, early detection, therapeutic treatments via thermotherapy, and antimicrobial sprays.3 In December 2013, the HLB Multi-Agency Coordination (MAC) Group4 was formed by then–agriculture secretary Thomas Vilsack to promote coordination across federal and state agencies and industry in order to rapidly deliver near-term solutions to help citrus growers maintain grove productivity until long-term solutions could be developed.

This request was made to identify ways to retool HLB research -- which, despite significantly increasing understanding of the factors involved in HLB, has produced no major breakthroughs in controlling the disease -- and accelerate the development of durable tools and strategies that could help abate the damage caused by HLB and prevent the possible collapse of the Florida citrus industry. STATEMENT OF TASK This study was carried out by the Committee on a Review of the Citrus Greening Research and Development Efforts Supported by the Citrus Research and Development Foundation: Fighting a Ravaging Disease in 5 A

COMMITTEE'S APPROACH This review of the HLB research and development efforts was conducted using information from various sources, including CRDF (which provided publicly accessible information on past and current projects) , principal investigators of past and current projects supported by CRDF, HLB researchers who were invited to speak at committee open sessions and webinars, refereed journal articles, and nonrefereed publications (e.g., trade magazines, extension materials, and meeting or conference proceedings)

The committee also talked with CRDF representatives, received clarification on the committee's charge, and learned about HLB research supported by USDA APHIS, the HLB MAC Group, and California's CRB from some of the invited speakers. The committee's second, third, and fourth meetings were held in May (Irvine, California)

, from the past decade of CRDF-funded HLB research as well as from input to the committee by researchers, growers, and other stakeholders. Chapter 4 also includes pos sible future research directions for CRDF consideration, as well as overall major findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the committee.
