Australasian Plant Disease Notes 15 (20)
Abstract: For the first time, Stagonosporopsis caricae is reported causing leaf spots on the non-conventional fruit crop Vasconcellea monoica (Caricaceae). The fungus was identified in Brazil based on morphological and molecular features and its pathogenicity was demonstrated. This is the first pathogen to be reported on V. monoica.
