Show abstract
Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) is an unculturable, Gram-negative, phloem restricted plant pathogenic bacterium associated with a very serious disease of citrus worldwide known as Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB). CLas is widely spread in the Americas. In Cuba, CLas has been associated with HLB symptoms and has seriously affected the Cuban citrus industry. In this short communication we discuss the identification of CLas-infected sour orange in urban areas of Mayabeque Province in Cuba, an area previously unexplored for the presence of HLB, and a host widely cultivated in gardens and yards along Cuba. We used for the first time the bacteria molecular barcode chaperonin-60 universal target (cpn60 UT) to identify and to detect CLas in HLB-symptomatic host plants.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
