“…These pathogens were recovered from anthracnose lesions found on papaya fruits [55,57]. In addition to Taiwan and Brazil, C. brevisporum was also a causal pathogen of papaya anthracnose in China [58]. Another species, C. okinawense, which was first reported in Brazil, was found to be associated with papaya anthracnose in Taiwan [60].…”

In tropical fruit crops, anthracnose is mainly caused by species belonging to the fungal genus, Colletotrichum. These phytopathogens can infect several parts of the fruit crops; however, infection during postharvest or ripening stages is responsible for major economic losses. Due to the formation of black to dark brown sunken lesions on the fruit surface, anthracnose reduces fruit quality and marketability. Among the most common tropical fruit crops susceptible to anthracnose are mango, papaya, banana, avocado, guava, and dragon fruit; these are economically relevant products in many developing countries. It is important to document that the newly recorded Colletotrichum spp. associated with fruit anthracnose can infect multiple hosts, but some species may be host-specific. By using multiple markers, many phylogenetic species of Colletotrichum have been reported as anthracnose-causing pathogens. Taking into account that disease management strategies strongly rely on adequate knowledge of the causative agents, updated information on Colletotrichum species and the hazard posed by the most recently identified species in tropical fruit plantations and harvested fruits becomes vital. Besides, the newly recorded species may be important for biosecurity and should be listed as quarantine pathogens, considering that tropical fruits are traded worldwide.

“…Among species in the C. gloeosporioides complex, C. asianum is the most common anthracnose pathogen in mango worldwide. This species has been reported in Brazil [28], Sri Lanka [30], Sanya City [33], and other areas of China [58], South Africa [119], Malaysia [31], Taiwan [36], Mexico [37], the Philippines [38] and Indonesia [120].…”

“…and Pandanus pygmaeus Thouars (Noireung et al., 2012). The pathogen has also been recorded on papaya in Brazil (Vieira et al., 2013), Taiwan (Duan et al., 2018) and China (Liu et al., 2019). It has also been found on chili fruits from China (Liu et al., 2016), red bell pepper from Trinidad (Villafana et al., 2019), yellow passion fruit from China (Du et al., 2017) and pumpkin from China (Liu et al., 2018).…”

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) fruits showing typical anthracnose lesions were collected from Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines. Infected fruits showed brown to black, sunken water‐soaked lesions with salmon‐ and black‐coloured acervuli. Fungal pathogens were isolated from the fruit samples, plated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and purified for subsequent analyses. A total of six Colletotrichum isolates were subjected to morphological assessment and were divided into two morphotypes (I and II). Morphotype I produced conidia which were hyaline, fusiform with obtuse ends, while Morphotype II produced conidia which were hyaline, falcate with pointy ends. For phylogenetic analysis, sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), actin (ACT) and chitin synthase‐1 (CHS‐1) was performed and resulted in two well‐supported and distinct clades. All test isolates were pathogenic in the detached fruit assay, and the same isolates were successfully re‐isolated from the symptomatic fruit samples, thereby fulfilling Koch's postulate. The results of the phylogenetic analysis, morphological assessment and pathogenicity testing confirmed the identity of the isolates as C. brevisporum and C. truncatum. To our knowledge, this is the first confirmed report of the two new species associated with papaya anthracnose in the Philippines.
