This is a very nice piece of science writing by Giorgia Guglielmi, which covers some aspects of the early stages of the Xylella fastidiosa epidemic in Italy affecting olive trees. You can write the PDF version of her thesis here: DOWNLOAD

A couple of review articles on Xylella fastidiosa were just published: Bucci EM. 2018. Xylella fastidiosa, a new plant pathogen that threatens global farming: Ecology, molecular biology, search for remedies. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 502(2):173-182. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2018.05.073. Sicard A, Zeilinger AR, Vanhove M,

PDF of Newton Pierce’s 1892 report to the USDA on the ‘California Vine Disease’. It is certainly worth the time of those interested in the history of Xylella fastidiosa diseases.
