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 and thus there is a danger of introduction of new strains when germplasm is exchanged. Detection can be carried out by isolation, by immunofluorescent microscopy using monoclonal antibodies as well as DNA probes.
