Objectives or Summary:

The causative agent of olive knot disease is Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi (Psv), an unusual member of the P. syringae complex that causes aerial tumors rather than the foliar necrosis and cankers typical of most members of this species. Following its occurrence in Duhok and Ninevah provinces in 2021–2022, this work sought to isolate and characterize Psv using conventional testing, molecular methods, and phylogenetic analysis for the first time in Iraq. As a result, it appears that the genomes of Psv isolated individuals in Iraq are monophyletic.
