  abstract = {{A} multilocus sequence analysis ({MLSA}) was performed on five housekeeping genes (fus{A}, gap{A}, glt{A}, lac{F} and lep{A}) of 22 {X}anthomonas euvesicatoria strains recently isolated from alfalfa, pepper and tomato plants in {I}ran. {I}n addition, 161 strains isolated worldwide from pepper, poinsettia, rose and tomato plants were included in the analysis. {A}ll {X}.euvesicatoria pv. perforans isolates from tomato plants in {I}ran clustered in a monophyletic group, although five {MLSA} haplotypes were detected among them. {T}he {I}ranian tomato strains presented 10 nucleotide differences in the lep{A} gene sequences compared to the known worldwide population of {X}.euvesicatoria pv. perforans. {S}tatistical analyses revealed a recombination event that had occurred in the lep{A} gene of the strains isolated from tomato in {I}ran. {BOX}-{PCR} analysis confirmed the inclusion of {I}ranian tomato strains within {X}.euvesicatoria pv. perforans. {F}urthermore, {X}.euvesicatoria pv. euvesicatoria strains isolated from pepper in {I}ran differed in one nucleotide in the lep{A} gene sequence from the known worldwide population of the pathovar, and clustered in a group containing strains isolated in {N}igeria. {T}he strains isolated from alfalfa in {I}ran clustered with the type strain of {X}.euvesicatoria pv. alfalfae. {A}ltogether, the results reveal the existence of a phylogenetically novel population of {X}.euvesicatoria pv. perforans in {I}ran which needs further in-depth analysis to pinpoint the epidemiological impact of these strains.},
