Distribution details in China (Xinjiang)

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2021: Absent, unreliable record
Comments
Doubtful record. The AFCVd sequence accessions associated with the paper from Zhao and Niu (2009) no longer appear in Genbank, and the detection appears to rely on a single PCR technique.
