Abstract
Mango anthracnose has been frequently occurred in Egypt during spring season. Disease symptoms were clearly observed on young leaves of mango cv. Keit, in Ismailia governorate. Isolation was done on Potato Dextrose Agar medium. The isolated fungi were initially identified as C. fructicola based on morphological criteria and their identity were confirmed based on molecular phylogenetic analysis of combined data set of ITS, GAPDH and ACT gene regions. Five isolates of C. fructicola were pathogenic to detached mango leaves cv. Keit. This species is a member of C. gloeosporioides species complex and previously misidentified as C. gloeosporioides in Egypt. The current study highlighted the importance of accurate identification of species in the context of disease management.
