A liberibacter (isolate NZ082226) was detected in a symptomatic tomato plant and subsequently in five other members of the family Solanaceae: capsicum, potato, tamarillo, cape gooseberry and chilli. Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, the deduced amino acid sequence of the rplJ gene and a partial nucleotide sequence of the β operon indicated that isolate NZ082226 represents a novel candidate species of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’, for which the name ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ is proposed.

{dagger}These authors contributed equally to this work.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the 16S–23S rRNA intergenic spacer and for a fragment of the β operon of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ isolate NZ082226 are EU834130 and EU834131, respectively.
