Groups I to VI are taxonomic groups devised by Waterhouse (40) and Stamps et al. (35) to separate the species within the genus. Taxonomic groups are based on morphological and physiological characters of the pathogen. 

b

Isolate designation and source indicates the isolate number and name of the investigator from whom the culture was obtained.
