EPPO Reporting Service (2009/089) : first observed causing a new disease of glasshouse tomatoes in Auckland in January 2008. Later found on capsicum and potatoes causing symptoms similar to 'Zebra chip'. The presence of the putative vector, Bactericera cokerelli was discovered in 2006 in Auckland, and it is now established throughout the North Island and the northern part of the South Island.
Mixed infection of 'Ca. L. solanacearum' and 'Ca. Phytoplasma australiense' were detected in potatoes in 2009 in the Waikato region (Liefting et al., 2009).
EPPO Reporting Service (2015/137) : detected in Solanum pseudocapsicum and Datura stramonium.
Mixed infection of 'Ca. L. solanacearum' and 'Ca. Phytoplasma australiense' were detected in potatoes in 2009 in the Waikato region (Liefting et al., 2009).
EPPO Reporting Service (2015/137) : detected in Solanum pseudocapsicum and Datura stramonium.
