Trading post in Fujian finds bacteria in citrus fruits for the first time

In the past few days, the Inspection and Quarantine Office in Quanzhou city (Fujian province), while investigating passengers headed for Hong Kong or Taiwan through the transit post in Shejing, discovered that 20 lemon saplings, carried by a Taiwanese passenger, had ulcers on their leafs and branches. After an inspection and tests with molecular technology, and after re-eximination by the technological center of Inspection and Quarantine in Fujian province, the harmful pathogen was confirmed as the prohibited Xanthomonas axonoprodis pv. citri. This is the first time the trading post in Fujian has encountered these bacteria.
