| Abstract: | Pear trees were observed in the province of Durres (AL) with typical symptoms of fireblight on the shoots, fruit and branches. Bacteriological analysis of samples of diseased material confirmed the presence of Erwinia amylovora. The isolates were identified on the basis of phenotypical and pathogenic characteristics. The total protein electrophoretic profiles of the Albanian isolates were indistinguishable from those of the strain found in the Po valley (IT). |
