“…Species of Calonectria are also rapidly dispersed via aerial dissemination and water movement, which leads to the transmission of Calonectria disease . Based on previous studies, at least 145 Calonectria species have been identified using molecular data and have been described worldwide (Crous 2002, Crous et al 2004, Lombard et al 2010a, b, c, 2011, 2016, Chen et al 2011, Alfenas et al 2013a, Gehesquière et al 2015. Sixty species were isolated from soil samples collected in subtropical or tropical regions (Crous 2002, Crous et al 2004, Lombard et al 2010a, b, c, 2015, 2016, Chen et al 2011, Alfenas et al 2015.…”
