台湾种苗业主在1996年7、8月间从泰国进口金龟树、鸡蛋花等种苗时，因商检部门检查出此病后未将进口种苗予以销毁，造成这批种苗流失到彰化县永靖乡，台湾有关方面正密切追踪这些种苗的去向，防止种苗的扩散及茎线虫病的蔓延。据悉，茎线虫病是被台湾列人植物检疫限制输入规定 When Taiwan seed and seedlings imported seed and seedlings such as golden-eyed tree and frangipani from Thailand in July and August 1996, they failed to destroy imported seedlings after the disease was checked by the commodity inspection authorities, resulting in the loss of these seedlings to Changhua County Yongjing Township, Taiwan authorities are closely tracking the whereabouts of these seedlings, to prevent the proliferation of seedlings and stem nematodes spread. It is reported that stem nematode disease is limited by Taiwan’s entry into the phytosanitary import regulations
