Abstract: The African citrus psyllid, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio) (Hemiptera, Triozidae), is an invasive pest recently introduced into Europe, showing a particular preference for lemon trees (Citrus × limon (L.) Osbeck). It is also a vector of huanglongbing, the most damaging citrus disease, caused by the bacteria Candidatus liberibacter. Understanding the psyllid's spread dynamics across the landscape is crucial for future management and control of this pest.
