Distribution details in Guyana

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2010: Present, no details
Comments
IICA Caraphin Report, Jan-Jun 1994 indicated that the disease occurred in Guyana but from 1995, IICA Caraphin Reports gave it as absent from Guyana.

A 2010 posting from Promed seemed to confirm that black sigatoka now occurs in Guyana (disease outbreak on banana and plantain), but no details were given on how the disease was diagnosed.
