Huanglongbing is a severe citrus disease that causes significant tree and crop losses worldwide. It is caused by three Candidatus liberibacter species and spread by psyllids and infected budwood. Various methods have been used to diagnose and understand HLB, including recent advances in molecular and biochemical assays that explore the pathogen's mode of action and its impact on the host plant. Characterization is essential for developing sustainable HLB management strategies. Nanotechnology, particularly nano sensors and metal nanoparticles, shows potential for precise disease diagnosis and control. Additionally, antibiotics, nanomaterials, and genetic engineering techniques like transgenesis offer promising avenues for mitigating HLB. These diverse approaches, from conventional to cutting-edge, contribute to developing integrated HLB management strategies for sustainable citrus cultivation. The review highlights the significant advancements in conventional and advanced molecular and biochemical characterization of HLB, aiding in early detection and understanding of the infection mechanism. It emphasizes the multidimensional efforts required to characterize disease and devise innovative management strategies. As the citrus industry faces unprecedented challenges, exploring new frontiers in HLB research provides hope for sustainable solutions and a resilient future for global citrus cultivation.
