Symptoms and yield reduction caused by Dickeya spp. strains isolated from potato and river water in Finland (2010, background): “It has been suggested that the source of the potato-infecting biovar 3 strains is ornamentals, from which the bacteria have spread to potato fields and are now spreading with commercial seed potatoes (Tsror et al. 2009; Sławiak et al. 2009).”
Control of blackleg and tuber soft rot of potato caused by Pectobacterium and Dickeya species: a review. (2011, background): “However, since 2005, a new genetic clade, probably representing a highly virulent Dickeya species belonging to biovar 3, has been detected in Europe (Tsror et al., 2008; Sławiak et al., 2009).”
Distribution of Dickeya spp. and Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum in naturally infected seed potatoes (2009, unknown): “isolates both with biochemical assays and genetic techniques pointed to strains possessing features of biovar 3 isolates and that they were closely related to strains isolated in Israel (Tsror et al. 2008).”
