Comments
Until 2003, the Canadian NPPO declared that this pest was absent from Canada. Most most literature records were based on a single publication mentioning the presence of the bacterium on beans (Patrick, 1954). But further surveys were conducted, and in 2009 the NPPO of Canada confirmed the presence of the bacterium in several provinces.

EPPO Reporting Service (2003/141) : a survey shows it is widespread in southern Alberta and also present in Saskatchewan.
