The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Seed degeneration in potato: the need for an integrated seed health strategy to mitigate the problem in developing countries (2016, background): “Yield loss due to bacterial wilt varies with cultivar, climate, soil type and prevailing pathogen strains, and was reported to range from 30 to 90% in Bolivia (Elphinstone, 2005) and from 30 to 75% in parts of East Africa with occasional losses of 100% (Lemaga et al., 2005).”
On the life of Ralstonia solanacearum, a destructive bacterial plant pathogen (2010, background): “The race is widespread in all the five continents [7, 10].”
Identification of major QTLs associated with stable resistance of tomato cultivar ‘Hawaii 7996’ to Ralstonia solanacearum (2012, unknown): “Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most devastating diseases of tomato, particularly in tropical and subtropical humid countries (Elphinstone 2005).”
Ralstonia solanacearum Race 3 Biovar 2 Causes Tropical Losses and Temperate Anxieties (2009, background): “It has recently appeared in Europe where it disrupted seed potato production and caused serious quarantine-related losses (8,15).”
Top 10 plant pathogenic bacteria in molecular plant pathology. (2012, background): “solanacearum is difficult to quantify, but the pathogen is extremely damaging because of its wide geographical distribution and host range; on potato alone, it is responsible for an estimated US$1 billion in losses each year worldwide (Elphinstone, 2005).”
