------- R. pseudosolanacearum [phylotype I-14] Isolate UW757 from Osteospermum (African Daisy) of Guatemalan origin was able to wilt the ornamental plants Osteospermum, Mandevilla and geranium but was more aggressive on tomato. It was also able to asymptomatically infect a wide range of ornamentals including Vinca and Sutera spp. Genetically similar strains have established in mandevilla in Florida, USA and have been isolated from tomato in Guatemala in 2006 and 2015.
