Abstract
Maize bacterial leaf streak disease has spread across maize crops in South Africa and therefore potentially poses a threat to maize production and food security. Until recently, this pathogen was identified as a Xanthomonas campestris pathovar, whereas our South African genomes seem to be more divergent and create their own subclade.
