  "definition": "Citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) caused by the CVC strain of Xylella fastidiosa is a serious disease of sweet oranges and other Citrus species. The disease is found only in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and recently Costa Rica; although other strains of the causal agent are present in the U.S. Infection of citrus trees leads to significant reduction in the health of trees and subsequent decline in fruit production. Due to the potential damage to U.S. citrus and worldwide production, CVC is on the USDA APHIS Ag Bioterrorism Agent and Toxin list and is on the European Plant Protection Organization’s A1 list of regulated quarantine agents.",
