Re: Wich diseases is this
I think you have found the culprits. When leaves are eaten like this leaving the veins it is almost always some sort of caterpillar.
Also deal with the scales. they breed fast and suck the sap out of the tree. A horticultural oil - pest oil or similar works well.

Unfortunately I don't recognise the white things.
I just checked and lime sulphur is listed to control some scales so I hope you have got them. Need to keep checking in case more new ones hatch out.
