Abstract: During August 2019/20, fruit blotch symptoms on mature watermelon fruits caused by Acidovorax citrulli, for the first time were observed in the village of Mokrievo, Strumica region, on the Bibo and Olakala watermelon varieties. Acidovorax citrulli is the causal agent of bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) of cucurbit plants. In recent years, the disease has been spread to many parts of the world, mainly via the inadvertent distribution of contaminated commercial seeds. So far, A. citrulli has already been reported in the Europe EPPO region, such as Turkey, Israel, Greece, Hungary, Italy, and Serbia, but in these reported countries, A. citrulli is under very careful control, and hygiene measures have already been taken. A. citrulli has been added to the EPPO A1 List version 2022-09 (https://www.eppo.int/ACTIVITIES/plant_quarantine/A1_list).
