The same study also reported wound inoculation resulted in higher disease severity regardless of temperatures tested (20°C -vs- 28°C) in addition to the potential implications of latent infections.

[3] Diagnostic procedures using conventional PCR identification have been established due to the detrimental effects this bacterial pathogen can have.

Plants infected by phylotype I have been shown to exhibit wilt, necrosis of the stem and visible internal vascular browning.

Due to the severity of bacterial wilt in plants, methods of detecting R. pseudosolanacearum concentrations within drain water have been developed.

[5] Studies have found that light plays an important role to the colonization of Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum in tomato plants.
