Mango scab in Australia caused by Denticularia mangiferae (Bitanc. and Jenkins) comb. nov.
Australasian Plant Pathology 28 (2), 115-119
Abstract: The fungus associated with mango scab in Queensland has been compared with the type collection of Sphaceloma mangiferae, and found to be conspecific with that taxon. Morphological characteristics indicate that it is placed incorrectly in Sphaceloma, and the new combination Denticularia mangiferae is proposed. Pathogenicity to mango leaves has been demonstrated with a culture isolated from mango in Queensland, and with inoculum taken directly from sporulating leaf lesions.
