Comments
EPPO Reporting Service (2023/194) : first recorded in the 1920s (as cancrosis B or B-type strains). More recent studies have shown that B-type strains have gradually been replaced (from the 1970s to 1990s) by the more aggressive A-type strains (Xanthomonas citri pv. citri - which was first found in 1974). Not detected in the field since 1991.
