Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Xap) is a pathogen highly specialized to infect Prunus species and is responsible for important economic losses in this crop worldwide. Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Xap) causes bacterial spot of stone fruits and almond, an important disease that may reduce the yield and vigour of the trees, as well as the marketability of affected fruits.

Kashmir Bee Virus is a positive sense ssRNA virus belonging to the Dicistroviridae family within the Cripavirus genus. This virus is genetically related to Acute Bee Paralysis Virus (ABPV) and both can co-infect the same hive and the same bee, The virus could persist at low titres in apparently healthy colonies, but the viral replication could be enhanced by the presence of honey bee stress factors triggering the loss of the colony resulting lethal in different developing stages of honey bee.
