Distribution details in Puerto Rico

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 1992: Absent, unreliable record
From CABI Disease map 024 (2001): Present, no details
Comments
The CMI map of 1977 considered the published record (from 1956) to be doubtful, since it refers to symptoms on tomato resembling those of Brazilian curly top of tomato (see Brazil).
However, the new edition of 2001 accepts the record
