Abstract (AB)The latent phase of gumming disease contributes to its spread through infected setts, and therapy is unknown. Variation among isolates of the bacterium has been observed, indicating a heterogeneous population. Thus ther is a danger of introducing new strains when germplasm is exchanged. Detection can be carried out by isolation, immunofluorescent microscopy using monoclonal antibodies as well as DNA probes.
