“…Colletotrichum truncatum was reported in 2008 as the cause of anthracnose in papaya (Carica papaya) in Mexico (Tapia-Tusell et al, 2008), with an incidence of up to 40 % (Torres-Calzada et al, 2012). This species uses different infection mechanisms, since it behaves like an intracellular hemibiotrophic pathogen in pea (Pisum sativum), broad bean (Vicia faba), and lentil plants (Lens culinaris) (O´Connell et al, 1993;Latunde-Dada and Lucas, 2007), and as a subcuticular intramural pathogen in chili pepper (Capsicum annuum), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), peanut (Arachis hypogaea), and bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) (Pring et al, 1995;Ranathunge et al, 2012). Although there are diverse studies related to this species, the process of pathogenesis is unknown for papaya leaves; also, there is scarce information describing the infection process of a same strain of the pathogen in different hosts.…”
