First observed in Serbia in the late 1950s but did not cause serious problems for more than 50 years. Severe outbreaks were observed in 2006 in several tomato-growing regions (mainly in greenhouses). Studies carried out in 2006-2008, detected the bacterium in 5 sites (greenhouses) and 1 outdoor site (Milijasevic-Marcic et al., 2012).
