------- New Zealand isolates were characterised by PCR diagnostic tests and identified the Ralstonia solanacerum (Biovar 2 race 3). DNA sequencing further characterised these isolates as Phylotype 2B Sequevar 1. The revised taxonomy means that the Ralstonia solanacerum species are now limited to Phylotype 2 strains, and that Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum is not present in New Zealand
