Tridge summary
Xylella fastidiosa, a deadly bacterium for numerous plants, was first detected in Europe in 2013 and has spread to various regions, causing significant economic and environmental damage. The bacterium, transmitted by insect vectors, has been particularly impactful in Californian vineyards and Italian olive groves. In France, infection has been reported across three regions, with a containment strategy adopted in Corsica due to widespread environmental contamination, and eradication efforts underway in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Occitanie. The European Union has implemented regulations to limit the bacterium's spread through measures such as plant removal, increased surveillance, and controls on plant movements. Public education and awareness are crucial to preventing the spread of the disease, including restrictions on the transport of plants from affected areas. Since 2015, France has conducted numerous inspections and analyzes to monitor the situation.

It is at the origin of very important dieback in Californian vineyards for example and on olive trees in Puglia, and therefore it can cause a very important impact from an economic, environmental but also societal point of view. It is transmitted by vector insects and was detected in 2013 in Europe, Italy then Spain, France and Portugal. In France, the bacterium is present in three regions in Corsica, PACA and Occitanie with very distinct situations. In Corsica, the bacterium is widely present in the environment and its eradication is no longer possible. It is therefore a containment strategy that is implemented and that allows a balance to be maintained between economic activity and the protection of the ecosystem. The goal is to limit the spread of the bacteria, prevent it from leaving the island and also ...
