- Method / resource The model simulates vector and host dynamics near complete flush infection.
- Observation Vector activity is essential for initial infection.
- Association Flush production, within-tree spread and latency most influence HLB development.
- Intervention effect Spray effects depend on timing, frequency and efficacy.
- Intervention effect Flush removal effects depend on timing and frequency.
- Observation Within-tree resistance strongly affects epidemic development.
