Projecting the global spread of xylella fastidiosa under climate change using maxent modeling.

ABSTRACT: Xylella fastidiosa, a virulent plant pathogen native to the Americas, presents considerable risks to economically valuable crops and ornamental flora. It is a highly virulent bacterium that causes the most critical plant infections. Many regions around the world such as the European Union countries posed the strongest constraints to prevent the introduction and spread of Xylella fastidiosa, including obligatory surveillance, and removal measures for new outbreaks. This research utilizes Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and maximum entropy modeling (Maxent) to forecast the worldwide dissemination of Xylella fastidiosa across different climate change scenarios. We gathered occurrence data from various sources, yielding 113 distinct sites, and employed 19 bioclimatic variables from the Wo
