Scientific Opinion on the pest categorisation of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Smith) Davis et al.

Abstract: The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to perform the pest categorisation for Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm). The agent responsible for vascular tomato wilt and canker is the clearly defined and valid gram‐positive taxon C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis. This pathogen can be accurately identified based on a range of sensitive and specific methods. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the main host, but peppers (Capsicum annum and C. frutescens) are also naturall… Show more

“…Tomato seed contamination by Cmm may occur systemically, through the vascular tissue, or by its penetration through fruit lenticels and stomata. Then, being the bacterium highly tolerant to desiccation, it can survive on/in seeds for years [37].…”

“…Seeds are a recognised and very efficient pathway for the introduction and dissemination of several pests and pathogens [83] and this is particularly true for tomato seeds, as the most important vegetable crop [84]. Therefore, to ensure their phytosanitary quality and allow their safe trade worldwide, seeds should be treated (or disinfected or sanitised) to reduce the presence of pathogens to a minimum [37]. An excellent example of hygiene in tomato seed production and pathogen control of Cmm is published by the international business chain system, Good Seed and Plant Practices (GSPP), to prevent tomato seeds being infected by Cmm [85].…”

“…Alternatively, Cmm entry through fruit stomata causes the development of circular lesions in the exo-and mesocarp where the bacteria multiply; such bacteria may then reach the seeds through the endocarp or the locular cavity when the tomatoes ripen, thus infecting the seed testa [43]. The bacterium is highly tolerant to desiccation and can survive on/in seeds for years [44].…”

“…Latently infected young plants or asymptomatic infections during late stages of plant development, resulting in the production of contaminated seeds, are also considered important for disease spread [7][8][9]. Prevention, based on seed testing and maintaining pathogen-free seeds and transplants, is currently the most appropriate approach for disease control, and cultural practices such as eradication of infected plants and disinfestation of materials are recommended [2,7,10]. Zero tolerance import and export restrictions have been implemented for Cmm in the European Union with the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 of 28 November 2019.…”
