It is caused by a phloem-limited fastidious bacterium, and transmitted by vegetative propagation (grafting) as well as the insect vector, Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama). HLB bacterium has not yet been successfully cultured in vitro, and a tentative name of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus has been proposed. HLB has been discovered in Asia, Africa and America. It has become a very important epidemic in the world. We have been studying HLB for so many years and accumulated abundant experiences. This pathogen invaded Florida in 2005, which immediately caused official concern of the United States. Several months ago, both FDACS (Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services) and APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA) communicated with us to search for a cooperative opportunity in the HLB study. This research project was therefore proposed for the construction of collaboration between Taiwan and USA. The project is dedicated to develop more efficiently diagnostic methods for HLB using advanced molecular techniques. The newly devised methods will directly assist the inspection and quarantine for HLB in USA as well as Taiwan. They will be further published in international journals and then assigned to apply the patent. We are looking forward to establishing an excellent and standard protocol for the detection of C. Liberibacter asiaticus that can be widely adopted for international quarantine. This research project will be conducted for two years to achieve three major goals：first, creation of the exchange channel of scholar to share the experiences in HLB research between Taiwan and USA； Second, development of advanced molecular diagnostic methods including the simplified PCR-based assay, Real-Time PCR quantitative detection, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP), and DNA microarray; third, preparation of the monoclonal antibodies against the specific protein molecules associated with C. Liberibacter asiaticus. The monoclonal antibodies showing high sensitivity and specificity will be selected to produce colloidal-gold labeled antibody strips for more convenient and economical detection.柑桔黃龍病台美合作分子檢測技術citrus huanglongbing (greening)cooperation between Taiwan and USAmolecular diagnostic methods
