Talk on Tuesday Jun 13, 2023 at 12:00 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: A climate-driven epidemiological model for Pierce disease of grapevines Speaker: Alex Giménez Romero, IFISC Abstract: <pre> The vector-borne bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is responsible for Pierce's disease (PD), a fatal grapevine disease that originated in the Americas. The international trade in plants is expanding the geographic range of this pathogen, which represents a new threat to viticulture worldwide, especially in Europe. To assess the potential incidence of PD, we have built a climate-driven dynamic epidemiological model based on the response of 36 grapevine varieties to the pathogen in inoculation trials and on the spatial distribution of vectors. The model has been applied to past, present and future climate projections, allowing to explain the origins of PD in Europe, highlight current risk areas with great precision and assess future risk.
