Comments
EPPO Reporting Service 500/14. Intercepted in 1989-11 on chrysanthemum and gypsophila cut flower material from NL. Destroyed. Situation unchanged in EPPO Reporting Service 502/04.

EPPO Reporting Service (97/181): found in two glasshouses in July and August 1997, on Dendranthema in one case and onions and lettuces in the other. Eradication measures applied.

1998: declared only to have been intercepted, so the 1997 cases mentioned above were presumably not outbreaks.

EPPO Reporting Service (99/174): found in 1999 in one glasshouse in north County Dublin. Infected plants were destroyed.
