From CABI Disease map 056 (1976): Absent, unreliable record
Comments
Riley (1956) Mycological Papers no. 63. Although the source is a carefully compiled list, it is very doubtful that aster yellows should occur in Zambia. Most probably, in the light of knowledge at that time, there has been confusion with some other pathogen.
