Societal Impact Statement Huánglóngbìng (HLB) is a bacterial disease of citrus that has significantly impacted Brazil and the United States, although production in Mediterranean Basin remains unaffected. By developing mathematical model spread Spain, we tested surveillance control strategies before any future HLB entry EU. We found while some might be maintained by roguing, this requires extensive significant chemical control, perhaps also including testing psyllids (which pathogen) for DNA. Our work highlights key importance early detection (including asymptomatic infection) vector management. Summary (HLB; greening) most damaging worldwide. While States have been affected decades, not reported European Union (EU). However, vector, African psyllid, already Portugal Spain. In 2023, major Asian was first Cyprus. develop landscape‐scale, epidemiological model, accounting heterogeneous cultivation dispersal, as well climate use our to predict dynamics an epidemic vectored psyllid high‐density areas assessing strategies. Without management, large infected within 10–20 years. Even with visual surveillance, will widespread on detection, making eradication unlikely. Nevertheless, increased inspection roguing following particularly if coupled intensive insecticide use, could sustain citriculture decade or more, albeit reduced production. effective may require application rates and/or active substances no longer authorised Strategies targeting infection more successful. Detection bacteriliferous vectors—sometimes possible long plants show symptoms—could reduce lags management commences. If HLB‐positive vectors were followed sprays, greatly improve outcomes. modelling component preparedness pathogen invasion is, at least somewhat, predictable advance.
