Isolates of Sphaceloma manihoticola, the asexual stage of Elsinoe brasiliensis, were collected from several regions of south-central Brazil. The isolates were obtained from samples of leaves, stems, and petioles of cassava (Manihot esculenta) and the weedy Euphorbia heterophylla ( amendoim bravo ...

The application of biotechnology tools has made it possible to make significant advances in the detection of pathogens and in the study of the genetic variability of pathogen populations. As a result, adequate disease management strategies can be planned, and disease resistance markers for plants...

Coffee crispiness (“crespera”), a disease of uncertain etiology, has been endemic in coffee (Coffea arabica L.) plantations in Colombia for at least 60 years. Symptoms typically consist of bud proliferation, abundant short and narrow leaves, phyllody, floral abortion, monospermic fruit, and dwarf...

Cassava frogskin disease (CFSD) is an economically important root disease of cassava (Manihot
esculenta) in Colombia and other South American countries, including Brazil, Venezuela, Peru,
Costa Rica, and Panama. The roots of severely affected plants are thin, making them unsuitable
for consumptio...

La Antracnosis, causada por el hongo Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, ocasiona pérdidas hasta del 90% en huertos no tecnificados de guanábana. Para el control de la enfermedad se requiere conocer bien la sintomatología y las características del agente causal. Teniendo en cuenta que existe poca inf...
