Abstract

This paper provides current information on the epidemiology of the important mango disease, bacterial necrosis, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. It clarifies certain details contained within the first Australian report and provides further information on the symptoms and known epidemiology of the disease, in addition to potential management strategies.
