PEREZ-VERA, Omar A; CIBRIAN-TOVAR, David  and  T-HANLIN, Richard. First description of Sclerotium coffeicola on African mahogany in Mexico. Rev. argent. microbiol. [online]. 2018, vol.50, n.2, pp.202-205. ISSN 0325-7541.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ram.2017.06.001.

A foliar disease was detected in the commercial plantation of Khaya senegalen with three years of age in Huimanguillo, Tabasco, Mexico. Through the morphological and molecular characterization and the compliance of the Koch's postulates, it was concluded that the causal agent corresponds to the fungus Sclerotium coffeicola. This is the first report of S. coffeicola causing leaf spot on African mahogany in Mexico.

Keywords : Scleriotia; Khaya senegalensis; Sclerotium coffeicola; Commercial forest plantation.
