Abstract

In June 2006, fruits of yellow passion fruit with typical anthracnose symptoms were collected in São Paulo state, Brazil. Based on cultural, morphological characteristics and molecular analyses of internal transcribed spacer rRNA region (ITS), the causal agent of the disease was determined as Colletotrichum boninense. This is the first report of C. boninense associated with anthracnose of passion fruit in Brazil.
