Abstract
In late August 2019, watermelon fruits (Citrullus lanatus L., variety Bibo, 1.5 ha and Olakala, 3.5 ha) collected from a field located in Sopot Kavadarci, North Macedonia, exhibited typical disease symptoms resembling bacterial fruit blotch caused by Acidovorax citrulli. Watermelon leaves were not symptomatic. On fruits, the first symptoms observed were small cracks with some water soaking, and then the cracks extended to the entire fruit, and water-soaked and rotted areas appeared all around. Fruit samples were collected from the field and washed with running water, and the bacterium was isolated from the margin of lesions from within the mesocarp.
