Zum ersten Mal wurde auf Zypern eine Krankheit entdeckt, die massenhaft Zitrusbäume tötet

TL;DR: This deadly disease has wiped out up to 90% of citrus tree plantations in different parts of the globe. Regarding Cyprus, it most likely arrived from the occupied part, just like that deadly prickly pear (papoutsosyka) disease. No cure has been found as of today with billions spent in research already.

Edit: If you spot this disease, please call the ministry of agriculture immediately. I’m suspecting the issue is more widespread than they think.

Goddam it, first my favourite fruit papoutsosika will get wiped out, and now my second favourite orange will too?

If you see symptoms, then reporting to the national plant protection organisation of Cyprus / dept. Agriculture / plant health is advisable.

Many countries are greatly helped by members of the public reporting pest and disease sightings, which helps with monitoring and control of vectors, diseases, virus, and invasive species.
