Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CaLsol) is a phloem-limited pathogen and it was found associated with the 'zebra chip' potato disease. This pathogen causes signifi cant economic losses by reducing the yield and quality of potato crops. It is widespread in commercial potato fi elds in USA, Mexico, Central America ,New Zealand. CaLsol can also affect other solanaceous crops, including tomato, pepper, eggplant, tamarillo. Recently, it was detected in several Northern European countries in carrot and celery crops. Chips made from zebra chip-infected tubers show dark stripes that become more visible upon frying, and are therefore commercially unacceptable. Bearing in mind the importance of potato production in our country, it is necessary to raise the awareness about the disease occurrence and distribution.
