Comments
EPPO Reporting Service (2009/199) : in the publication from Pereira & Zagatto (1968), it is stated that the disease observed resembled P. stewartii, but the identity of the bacterium was not confirmed at that time. Since then, there has been no further reports and the Brazilian authorities consider that P. stewartii is absent (P. stewartii is listed as an A1 quarantine pest in Brazil). Therefore, this single record is considered unreliable.
