Abstract

Fire blight, caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovara, was created an important epidemic since 1985 in Turkey. Some observations made in Korkuteli, Antalya were presented. The epidemiology, forecasting systems and control of fire blight were discussed. Based on the behaviour of the fire blight in other countries, it is expected to become established and constant control measures should be practice to minimize lossess.

Ateş Yanıklığının Epidemiyolojisi ve Mücadelesi

Abstract

Erwinia amylovora tarafından meydana getirilen ateş yanıklığı, 1985'ten sonra Türkiye'de önemli bir epidemi yaratmıştır. Korkuteli-Antalya'da yapılan bazı gözlemler sunulmuştur. Ateş yanıklığının epidemiyolojisi, tahmin sistemleri ve mücadelesi tartışılmıştır. Ateş yanıklığının diğer ülkelerdeki davranışına bakılarak, hastalığın yerleşeceği beklenmektedir, kayıpları en aza indirmek için mücadele yöntemleri kesintisiz uygulanmalıdır.
