“…Ceratocystis cacaofunesta was isolated from both leaf blades and infected stems from cacao; C. fimbriata from eucalyptus, rubber, soursop, custardapple, and coffee ; as well as C. paradoxa (Dade) C. Moreau 1952, from coconut. Due to the specificity of C. cacaofunesta to T. cacao and the literature reports attributing the infection of eucalyptus, rubber, soursop and custard-apple trees and coffee plant (Ribeiro et al, 1986;Ferreira et al, 1999;Silveira et al, 1994;Trindade & Furtado, 1997;Furtado et al, 2008;Marin et al, 2003) to C. fimbriata and of coconut palm to C. paradoxa (Pinho et al, 2013), it is assumed that the method of isolation from leaves can be utilized for the three species. These three species are those which predominate as pathogens of this genus in Brazil, with C. cacaofunesta causing problems in cacao plantations, C. paradoxa in monocotyledons, and mainly C. fimbriata in herbaceous and woody plants of great economic importance such as mango, rubber and eucalyptus (Bezerra, 1997;Silveira et al, 1994;Ferreira 1999).…”
