In Iran, the disease was first found in 2009. In this study, two hypervariable prophage and phage‐related loci, bacteriophage repressor protein C1 (\u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eCLIBASIA\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003e_ 01645 locus) and prophage terminase gene (\u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eCLIBASIA\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003e_05610 locus), were used to determine the diversity and characterization of \u003cjats:italic\u003eCandidatus\u003c/jats:italic\u003e Liberibacter asiaticus \u003cjats:bold\u003e(\u003c/jats:bold\u003e\u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eCL\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003eas) strains associated with \u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eHLB\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003e samples. Analyses of the \u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eCLIBASIA\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003e_01645 locus, characteristic of variable tandem repeat numbers (\u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eVTRN\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003es), revealed the homogeneity of Iranian \u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eCL\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003eas isolates: However, this result showed two distinct genotypes (\u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eTRN\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003e \u0026lt; 10 and \u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eTRN\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003e \u0026gt; 10) of \u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eCL\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003eas in Iran. This is the first report documenting the presence of two differentially distributed genotypes of \u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eCL\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003eas in Iran. Sequence analysis of prophage terminase revealed the presence of two putative prophages (prophage I and prophage \u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eII\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003e) in the genome of \u003cjats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"\u003eCL\u003c/jats:styled-content\u003eas isolates of Iran.
