Oliver and collaborators (2015) determined that Xylella fastidiosa isolates from both the subspecies multiplex and fastidiosa can cause blueberry leaf scorch under greenhouse conditions. Although currently only X. fastidiosa subsp. multiplex isolates have been recovered from infected blueberry plants in the southeastern United States, X. fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa occurs commonly on infected grapevine in this region. These authors demonstrated the potential of X. fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa as a blueberry pathogen, and identified the differences in interactions of blueberry with both both subspecies that could be helpful in the deployment of host resistance as a control strategy.
