This bacterial strain has been controlled and managed successfully in orchards in Asia. In 1992, it was found in northern Italy. In 2007/2008, economic losses were observed, as a more virulent strain became more dominant (PSA V). In
North Island brown kiwi North Island brown kiwi The North Island brown kiwi ("Apteryx mantelli"; "Apteryx australis" or "Apteryx bulleri" as before 2000, still used in some sources), is a species of kiwi that is widespread in the northern two-thirds of the North Island of New Zealand and, with about 35,000 remaining, is the most common kiwi. This bird holds the world record for laying the largest eggs relative to its body size. The genome of "Apteryx mantelli" was sequenced in 2015. Until 2000, the brown kiwi (then "Apteryx australis") was thought to include the rowi and the tokoeka, in addition to the North
