XFACTORS

A bacterium, hidden where nobody knows. In the xylem vessels, it makes its home, Feeding on plants, where it likes to roam. Xylella travels, fulfilling its need. Sharpshooters and spittlebugs, they carry the load, Spreading the bacterium as they go. Bacterial leaf scorch, a plant's plight. Oleander leaf scorch, coffee leaf scorch too, Xylella's infections, they surely accrue. Olive quick decline, citrus chlorosis, oh no! Xylella's reach is far and wide, Causing trouble wherever it may reside. Taiwan, Israel, and countries galore. Xylella's journey knows no bounds, A pathogen that spreads, without a sound.
