EPPO Reporting Service (2017/069) : first found in 1998 an abandoned fishing pond in Holsbeek, province Vlaams-Brabant. This population disappeared following dredging and restocking of the pond in 2006. In 2013, a second population was found in sint-Pauwels in an isolated 4 m-wide ditch.
EPPO Reporting Service (2019/106) : A survey identified a single site along the canal Zuid-Willemsvaart where plants were rooted over an area of 60 m2 and further viable fragments were found over a 25 km stretch of the canal between Neerharen and Bree. The authors suggest that the eradication of C. caroliniana seems unlikely.
