This study assesses future Pierce's Disease risk in European vineyards under global warming, identifying a +3°C temperature threshold for expanded spread beyond Mediterranean regions.

This paper develops a compartmental model for Xylella fastidiosa diseases that incorporates seasonal vector dynamics and validates it against epidemiological data from two outbreaks.

The paper builds a dynamic epidemiological model to predict the global risk of Pierce's disease establishment in grapevines, showing expansion of epidemic-risk zones by 2050.

This study develops a spatially-explicit model to analyze how parasite mobility affects disease transmission in sessile marine hosts, showing that higher mobility leads to more severe epidemics and faster extinction.
