The EU citrus industry is threatened by an emerging disease, the Huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening. It is considered as the most devastating disease in citrus due to its rapid spread, severity and the rapid progression of symptoms. The consequences are considerable losses in terms of fruit production and quality, costs and difficulty in preventing new infections, lack of resistant citrus varieties and economically viable treatments for infected trees, as well as the absence of sustainable control mechanisms. HLB is thus responsible for economic losses of several hundred million euros for the citrus industry worldwide. The objective of this ANR project is to help to set up a Horizon project that will continue the H2020 Pre-HLB project (2019-2023) in the framework of the HORIZON-CL6-2024-FARM2FORK-02-4 call for proposals. A strong European consortium involving Brazil is already established and involves a network of partners with multidisciplinary expertise. The research actions will be in continuity of those already initiated in the framework of pre-HLB and will aim to have the greatest possible impact preserving the Mediterranean citrus of HLB.
