Dickeya dianthicola(ERWICD)

Distribution details in Colombia

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2013: Absent, no record
Comments
The record appearing in the CABI map no. 425 (1996) was erroneous, resulting from a misinterpretation of the paper from Arbelaez (1993) which stated that the bacterium was NOT present in Colombia. This bacterium is a quarantine pest in Colombia.
