Sixty‐two sample of rice from 29 countries were tested for presence of Pseudomonas avenae and 55 from 28 countries proved to be infected. The presence of the bacterial stripe pathogen constitutes the first report from these countries. Infection ranged from 1 to 75%. P avenae was identified by symptoms in the seedings and its identity confirmed serologically. The bacterium was found even in 8‐year‐old seed samples which had been stored at 5°C.
