Citrus Psyllid Hosts |
The host list above are all potentially hosts for the psyllid vector as well as HLB, however a number of citrus relatives are also hosts for the psyllid, but have not been shown to be hosts for the disease. They are important as reservoirs or potential pathways for infected insect vectors to non-infested citrus growing states and should be regulated as such. |
