Endophytic Cryphonectriaceae on native Myrtales: Possible origin of Chrysoporthe canker on plantation-grown Eucalyptus

“…Chrysoporthe (Cryphonectriaceae) includes a number of important eucalypt pathogens (Gryzenhout et al 2009;Wingfield 2003), including C. austroafricana in Africa (Gryzenhout et al 2004;Nakabonge et al 2006), C. cubensis in Latin America (Gryzenhout et al 2004;Hodges et al 1976) and Africa (Roux and Apetorgbor 2010), and C. deuterocubensis in Asia (Sharma et al 1985; Van der Merwe et al 2010) and Africa (Nakabonge et al 2007). Infections by Chrysoporthe species result in stem and root collar cankers after colonization of the bark, cambium and woody tissues at the bases of Eucalyptus trees (Hodges et al 1976;Sharma et al 1985;Wingfield et al 1989).…”

“…Chrysoporthe cubensis, believed to be native in South and Central America, has been found in Central and West Africa (Gibson 1981;Roux et al 2003;Roux and Apetorgbor 2010). Likewise, C. deuterocubensis, which is believed to be native to Asia (Myburg et al 2002;Pegg et al 2010;van der Merwe et al 2010), has been found in East and Southern Africa (Nakabonge et al 2006;Van der Merwe et al 2010).…”
