EPPO Reporting Service (2009/117) : occurs in England and Wales, and Scotland. Previous episodes of bleeding cankers of horse chestnut trees had been attributed in the 1970s to a Phytophthora sp. but these bleeding cankers were considered to be uncommon and only seen in the South of England. However, since 2003 an upsurge of the disease has been observed. From 4 cases reported in 2001, 60 were seen in 2003, 90 in 2004, 75 in 2005 and more than 110 were reported in 2006, and from locations as far north as Lancashire (north-west of England), and Glasgow and Fife (Scotland).
Genomic data (Green et al., 2012) suggest that British and Indian strains share a recent common ancestor and that the British strains studied descend from a single, very recent introduction of the bacterium into Britain.
