Teixeira, M.A., Bettiol, W., Cesnik, R., & Vieira, R.F. 2004 [Pathogenicity of the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, pathogen of Orthezia praelonga, to several fruits and to pumpkin seedlings.. Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura 26(2): 356-358.

Notes: [Original title: Patogenicidade do fungo Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, patogeno da cochonilha Orthezia praelonga, a diversos frutos e a plantulas de abobrinha.] The pathogenicity of C. gloeosporioides (CTAA isolates 1-5), a pathogen of O. praelonga, a pest in citrus orchards, and of other C. gloeosporioides (Glomerella cingulata) isolates (CCC and CCE), C. acutatum (CCA) and C. lagenarium (C. orbiculare), the causal agents of postharvest and post-flowering diseases of citrus fruits, and anthracnose of pumpkin, respectively, was evaluated. The fungi were inoculated to banana, coffee, apple, peach, pawpaw and pumpkin with or without injury. Peach fruits were susceptible to all the isolates. Apple and pumpkin leaves were also susceptible when injured. Banana, coffee and pawpaw were not susceptible to the fungi.
