====== Molecular Diagnosis and Diversity for Regulated Xanthomonas ======

This data is based on the review by [[https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms9040862|Catara et al. (2021]]), focused on the molecular methods for diagnosis, detection, and studies on the diversity of plant pathogenic //Xanthomonas//, concentrating especially on regulated pathogens in the European Union published as a collective effort of the [[https://euroxanth.eu/management/wg1|Working Group 1]] 'Diagnostics & Diversity–Population Structure' from the [[https://euroxanth.eu|EuroXanth]] COST Action CA16107.

Specifically, we provide information on:

  * [[:diagnostics:disease_regulation_management|Diseases, regulation and recommendations for management of phytosanitary-regulated //Xanthomonas// in the European Union]]
  * [[:diagnostics:dna_protocols|Diagnostics: main protocols based on amplification of specific target DNAs]]
  * [[:typing:molecular_typing|Diversity: tools for molecular typing]]
