The spread of Xylella fastidiosa in Puglia, the southern Italian region, has slowed but not stopped. Signs of the infection have been found in a few olive trees located in an area previously considered safe.
The results of the latest monitoring operations show that the deadly olive tree pathogen has infected 19 olive trees near Polignano a Mare, a coastal town not far from Bari, the regional capital.
