Deceased olive grove infected with XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA.

The landscape of the region Salento is under change, due to the bacteria XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA. The bacteria attacks the groves of olivetrees and is spread through the flying insect, the spittlebug. The population of the spittlebug are increasing with the increase of temperature in the climate.
