KŮDELA V., ŠAFRÁNKOVÁ I., KREJZAR V., KORBA J. (2005): First report of Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. nerii on oleander in the Czech Republic. Plant Protect. Sci., 41: 33–37. The bacterium Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. nerii was identified as the causal agent of parenchymatous galls on leaves of potted oleander plants grown at Brno, Moravia, in 2004. The plants had originated from cuttings made from firm shoots of a supposedly asymptomatic plant grown in and introduced from the Mediterranean region. The Biolog GN microplate system was used to identify the isolated bacterial strains. Successful inoculation of Nerium oleander seedlings proved the pathogenicity of the isolates. This is the first record of P. savastanoi pv. nerii in the Czech Republic.
