EPPO Reporting Service (2010/101) : outbreaks detected in glasshouse tomatoes in Sardegna in 2007 and again in 2009. According to the NPPO (January 2010) national surveys on potato production did not detect R. solanacearum, but no update was given on the earlier cases found on tomatoes (NPPO, 2010-01).
EPPO Reporting Service (2011/003) : the NPPO of Italy considers that the outbreaks on tomato in Sardegna have been successfully eradicated .
From NPPO (2011): not detected during the official survey conducted in 2010.
From NPPO (2018): one outbreak in tomato, one in ware potato (both in Emilia-Romagna). Under eradication.
From NPPO (2024): several outbreaks detected in June-November 2024 on potato in Sardegna. Under eradication.
