“…Since E. amylovora was first discovered in 1780 in the United States, it has been reported globally in Europe, North America, the Middle East and central Asia, and New Zealand ( Van der Zwet et al, 2012 ). In 2015, this disease was reported in apple and pear orchards in South Korea ( Myung et al, 2016 ; Park et al, 2016 ). In the case of E. pyrifoliae , it was first reported in pear orchards in South Korea in 1995 ( Kim et al, 1999 ).…”

BACKGROUND: Since 2015, fire blight disease caused by Erwinia amylovora has been devastating apple and pear orchards every year. To quickly block the disease spreading, infected apple and pear trees have been buried in soil. However, concern on the possibility of the pathogen survival urgently requires informative data on the buried host plants. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the survival of the pathogen from the buried host plants. METHODS AND RESULTS: Apple trees buried in 42 months ago in a Jecheon site and pear trees buried in 30 months ago in an Anseong site were excavated using an excavator. Plant samples were taken from stems and twigs of the excavated trees. The collected 120 samples were checked for rotting and used for bacterial isolation, using TSA, R2A, and E. amylovora selection media. The purely isolated bacteria were identified based on colony morphology and 16S rDNA sequences. Wood rotting and decay with off smells and discoloring were observed from the samples. A total of 17 genera and 48 species of bacteria were identified but E. amylovora was not detected. CONCLUSION: Our investigation suggests that the survival of E. amylovora doesn't seem possible in the infected hosts which have been buried in soil for at least 30 months. Therefore, the burial control can be considered as a safe method for fire blight disease.

“…Since the middle of last century, one to two countries were reported to have fire blight disease each year. The disease recently reached Central/East Asia, the native origin of apple germplasm resources, including Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and South Korea (Drenova et al 2013;Doolotkeldieva and Bobusheva 2016;Park et al 2016). It appears that the nearest orchard with the fire blight disease is less than 200 kilometers from the border of China.…”

Fire blight, caused by Erwinia amylovora, is a devastating disease of apples and pears, causing enormous economic losses around the world. The disease is indigenous to North America and has spread to more than 50 countries since its discovery in 1870s. Recent reports of the disease in China's neighboring countries, including South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan, pose great threat to the world's leading producer of apples and pears. This mini-review intends to provide an update on the disease, pathogen biology, epidemiology, and control. It will also provide some perspectives and suggestions for the apple and pear industry and growers in China, which will face the imminent threat of this devastating disease.
