2023: Absent, pest eradicated
From NPPO (2023) : although the bacterium had been detected on a few occasions from 1998 to 2012 on Citrullus lanatus and Cucumis melo in several production sites (located in Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyūshū and Shikoku), eradication measures have always been immediately taken (including destruction of affected plants). Annual official surveys (on approximately 600 production sites) have confirmed that the bacterium has been absent from Japan since 2013.
