First record of Xanthomonas campestris pv.vesicatoria from Chile

Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (EPPO A2 organism) and Pseudomonas syringae  pv. tomato were for the first time isolated from tomatoes in Chile in January 1987. The symptoms were small necrotic specks surrounded by a chlorotic halo and almost leaf blight. Small cankered lesions appeared on fruits, some with a pronounced yellow to green halo.
