      montana var. lobata) in Kentucky.

AB  - Phakopsora pachyrhizi, the causal organism of soybean rust, was first observed in 
      the continental United States on 6 November 2004 (2). On 11 November 2005, as 
      part a national soybean rust monitoring effort, 75 leaves of kudzu (Pueraria 
      montana var. lobata) were arbitrarily collected from a patch growing in 
      Princeton, Caldwell County, Kentucky (37.106650 degrees N, 87.886120 degrees W) that had been 
      periodically scouted for the presence of the disease since May 2005. Upon 
      microscopic examination of the nonincubated sample, a small ( 2.0 cm(2)) area of 
      one leaf exhibited lesions, uredinia, and urediniospores characteristic of those 
      reported for P. pachyrhizi (the Asian species) and P. meibomiae (the New World 
      species) (2). No other infected leaves were observed despite repeated visits to 
      the site and collection and observation of nearly 200 leaves. On 16 November 
      2005, one-half of the symptomatic tissue was sent by overnight courier to the 
      USDA/APHIS/PPQ/NIS Laboratory, Beltsville, MD and the other half was sent to the 
      Southern Plant Diagnostic Network Laboratory (SPDN), University of Florida, 
      Gainesville. Both laboratories confirmed that the rust was a Phakopsora spp. on 
      the basis of morphological examination. The preliminary polymerase chain reaction 
      (PCR) testing conducted by the SPDN according to Harmon et al. (1) indicated the 
      presence of P. pachyrhizi that was confirmed by the USDA/NPGBL using the 
      validated modified real-time PCR assay described previously (2). The field 
      diagnosis of P. pachyrhizi and preliminary PCR results were officially confirmed 
      by USDA/APHIS on 18 November 2005. To our knowledge, this is the first report of 
      P. pachyrhizi on kudzu or any host in Kentucky, and currently, the northernmost 
      report of soybean rust on any host in the continental United States. References:
