For those keeping up on the research, the psyllid must have some alternate host plants it survives on, other than citrus it transmits the HLB to.
Have those alternate host plants been identified?

Mainly Citrus spp., at least two species of Murraya, and at least three other genera, all in the family Rutaceae.

Rue plant. I'm concerned about the native "toothache tree" which is in rue family and ranges from FL to Canada.

What about white sapote? Isn't that Rutaceae as well?
