| A monitoring programme was implemented on potatoes and Solanum dulcamara, and during the last four years the bacterium was not found again. |
| Race 3 may be spread more easily with surface water when infected S. dulcamara grows with its roots floating in water. |
| First results have shown that in some places, surface waters and S. dulcamara plants were infested. |
| However, the bacterium was isolated from Solanum dulcamara growing in the water system from which the infected potatoes were irrigated. |
| In Bayern, the bacterium was found in 2 water samples in a small river and in 1 sample of Solanum dulcamara. |
| Solananum dulcamara was not found along irrigation canals or Nile branches. |
