Coniothyrium glycines

There are limited or no exports of soyabean from countries in sub-Saharan Africa to countries outside of Africa, and there have been no documented cases of movement of the pathogen from countries with this disease. Any shipment of soyabean seeds from infected countries would need to enter the USA through a seed permit process managed by USDA APHIS. Similar permitting processes are presumably in place in other countries, which would be the first step in excluding the pathogen from establishment in countries without the disease.
