“…5,7 Studies have revealed that multiple species in the genus Clarireedia co-exist on the same hosts or at same locales, which might complicate the management of DS disease. 5,7,9,10 Because morphological differences were observed among different species of Clarireedia, including pigment accumulation, oxalic acid production, pathogenicity and fungicide sensitivity, 7,10 it is indicated that different management strategies should be used to control DS disease caused by different species. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the distributions and prevalence of different species in Clarireedia, especially at those locales where more than two species co-exist.…”
