Citrus huanglongbing (HLB) is a highly destructive disease currently threatening citrus production worldwide. In China, the disease is exclusively associated with 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', a nonculturable proteobacterium. HLB was observed in Guangdong of China over a hundred years ago. Researchers and citrus growers have been battling with the disease through vigorous research and have exercised various control practices. Much of the early work was not well known outside China. This review is intended to fill in gaps of historical information by reviewing selected literature records. Along the way, the HLB system within southern China was evaluated. Emphases were on comparison of symptomatology, evolution of etiology, control practices, and impacts of using next-generation sequencing technology for 'Ca. L. asiaticus' research and detection.
黄龙病是一种极具破坏力的疾病，目前正在威胁着全球的柑橘生产。在中国，这种疾病仅与“亚洲韧皮杆菌”有关，这是一种不可培养的原杆菌。一百多年前，中国的广东省就已经发现了黄龙病。研究人员和柑橘种植者一直在通过积极的研究和实施各种控制措施来与这种疾病作斗争。早期的许多工作在中国以外并不为人所知。本综述旨在通过回顾选定的文献记录来填补历史信息的空白。在此过程中，对中国南方的黄龙病系统进行了评估。重点是比较症状、病因学的演变、控制措施，以及利用下一代测序技术研究和检测“亚洲韧皮杆菌”的影响。
