Ralstonia solanacearum(RALSSL)

Distribution details in Estonia

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2018: Absent, confirmed by survey
Comments
EPPO Reporting Service (2001/105) : the bacterium has been declared absent to EPPO since 1998, and there are no earlier records. In 2000, a wide survey of seed and ware potatoes did not detect the bacterium, so its absence is "confirmed by survey".

EPPO Reporting Service (2002/072) : same situation in 2001.

From NPPO (2018): Official annual surveys in 2001-2017 confirmed the absence of the bacterium. Samples were collected in ware and seed potato storage facilities.
