EPPO Reporting Service (2012/191) : first found in July 2007 in a garden near Imouzzer Kandar on 10-year-old Cupressus sempervirens trees. The disease was also found on adult C. sempervirens trees in Rabat and Marrakech. It is thought that S. cardinale has probably been spreading in Morocco for some years before being noticed.
