A stream in western Washington and one in northern Georgia have been found P. ramorum
positive for the first time as a result of the National Early Detection
Survey of Forests, bringing the total number of positives to date for
this year to 14. Both new stream positives are in urban areas with
current or formerly positive nurseries in the vicinity. Stream baiting
will continue in an effort to identify the inoculum sources. In
addition, the eight eastern sites in MS, AL, GA, FL, and NC found
positive in the past have been confirmed positive again in 2012.
