Citron
A source of confusion is that "citron" or similar words in French (and other languages), and English are false friends, as they refer to the lemon. Indeed, into the 16th century, the English name "citron" included the lemon and perhaps the lime as well.
Mal secco
The main host of mal secco is the lemon; however other genera including Citrus, Severina, Fortunella, and Poncirus have all been reported to be susceptible. In addition to lemon, the disease has been observed to be highly destructive in Citron (C. "medica L".), lime (C. "latifolia Tan".), and bergamot (C. "bergamia Risso"). The most common lemons in the Mediterranean, the rough lemon (C. "jambiri Lush"), volkamer lemon (C. "volkameriana Ten. & Pasq".), and alemow (C. "macrophilla wester") are very susceptible.
