LOS ANGELES — An invasive pest that can carry an incurable citrus blight and had been confined to the U.S.-Mexico border region has been found farther north in California, advancing what one expert calls the greatest threat in modern history for the state’s $1.6 billion citrus industry.
Officials confirmed Tuesday that five Asian citrus psyllids were found on a backyard lemon tree in Santa Ana, 100 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border.
