“…In India, using multigene phylogenetic analysis, several species have been identified as papaya anthracnose pathogens. The species reported include C. karstii [49], C. fructicola, C. gloeosporioides [51], and C. salsolae [53]. Most of the species reported are not host-specific and occur in many locations in papaya-producing countries.…”

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.

“…It is known to infect and cause anthracnose in both fruit crops and ornamentals. For instance, it infects chili (de Silva et al, 2019), strawberry (Hirayama et al, 2016), mango (Joa et al, 2016), papaya (Saini et al, 2016), avocado (Fuentes-Aragón et al, 2018) and apple (Kim et al, 2018).…”

The commercially known persimmon fruit came from the genus Diospyros in the family Ebenaceae. Four species of persimmon, namely D. oleifera, D. virginiana, D. lotus and D. kaki (Kitagawa & Glucina, 1984), dominate the current commercial production.Persimmons have high nutritional content, such as sugars, vitamin C, carotenoids and polyphenol, that plays a major role in the human diet (Giordani et al., 2011). The Philippines does not cultivate persimmon, so fruits are imported from countries like Korea, China, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Spain (UN Comtrade Database, 2021). In 2020, the country imported 1,207 metric tons of persimmon fruits (valued at 2,192,687 USD), with Korea being the dominant supplier accounting for 83% of the total imports (UN Comtrade Database, 2021). From 2015 to 2019, the production of persimmons worldwide had a minor drop from 4.3 million tonnes to 4.2 million tonnes (FAOSTAT, 2019).Anthracnose is a plant disease in which most cases are attributed to the genus Colletotrichum. The disease is characterized by dark, sunken, necrotic lesions observed on young and mature plant parts (Freeman et al., 1998). The disease can be observed at any stage of plant growth and may wipe out an entire orchard and result in reduced fruit harvest. Moreover, anthracnose symptoms can also be seen in postharvest conditions that cause major reductions in fruit yield and quality. In persimmon, different Colletotrichum species in the acutatum, boninense, gigasporum and gloeosporioides species complexes that cause anthracnose worldwide have been reported

The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Colletotrichum fructicola Prihast., a well‐defined polyphagous fungus of the C. gloeosporioides complex which has been reported from all the five continents to cause anthracnose, bitter rot and leaf spotting diseases on over 90 cultivated and non‐cultivated woody or herbaceous plant species. The pathogen is not included in EU Commission Implementing Regulation 2019/2072. Because of the very wide host range, this pest categorisation focused on Camellia sinensis, Citrus sinensis, C. reticulata, Fragaria × ananassa, Malus domestica, M. pumila, Persea americana, Prunus persica, Pyrus pyrifolia and P. bretschneideri for which there was robust evidence that C. fructicola was formally identified by morphology and multilocus gene sequencing analysis. Host plants for planting and fresh fruits are the main pathways for the entry of the pathogen into the EU . There are no reports of interceptions of C. fructicola in the EU . The pathogen has been reported from Italy and France. The host availability and climate suitability factors occurring in some parts of the EU are favourable for the establishment of the pathogen. Economic impact on the production of the main hosts is expected if establishment occurs. Phytosanitary measures are available to prevent the re‐introduction of the pathogen into the EU . Although the pathogen is present in the EU , there is a high uncertainty on its actual distribution in the territory because of the re‐evaluation of Colletotrichum taxonomy and the lack of systematic surveys. Therefore, the Panel cannot conclude with certainty on whether C. fructicola satisfies the criterium of being present but not widely distributed in the EU to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest unless systematic surveys for C. fructicola are conducted and Colletotrichum isolates from the EU in culture collections are re‐evaluated.
