Abstract

Cryptosporiopsis actinidiae, the cause of post-harvest rot in yellow-fleshed kiwifruit in New Zealand, was isolated from freshly sawn Eucalyptus diversicolor scantling in the south-west of Western Australia in 1986. This isolate was identified by rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequencing in 2006. It is the first record of C. actinidiae in Australia.
