The results are reported of a two‐year campaign of bacteriological analyses carried out on carnation mother‐plants in 24 Italian nurseries to detect the presence of Erwinia chrysanthemi pv. dianthicola and Pseudomonas caryophylli. One hundred and eighteen samples were taken of 99 different cultivars or clones. The detection methods combined indirect fluorescent antibody staining (IFAS) and direct isolation (DI) on selective media. Only one of the 24 nurseries surveyed revealed latent infections of E. c. dianthicola. All the other nurseries were shown to be free from both pathogens. Measures taken to eradicate the disease in the affected nursery were successful. Copyright © 1988, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved

Abstract
The results are reported of a two‐year campaign of bacteriological analyses carried out on carnation mother‐plants in 24 Italian nurseries to detect the presence of Erwinia chrysanthemi pv. dianthicola and Pseudomonas caryophylli. One hundred and eighteen samples were taken of 99 different cultivars or clones. The detection methods combined indirect fluorescent antibody staining (IFAS) and direct isolation (DI) on selective media. Only one of the 24 nurseries surveyed revealed latent infections of E. c. dianthicola. All the other nurseries were shown to be free from both pathogens. Measures taken to eradicate the disease in the affected nursery were successful. Copyright © 1988, Wiley Blackwell.
