The pathogen was originally named <em>Cercospora myrticola<\/em>, and since then has also been known by several synonyms: <em>Cercospora myrti, C. saccardoana, C. amadelpha<\/em> and <em>Fusariella cladosporioides<\/em> (Crous <em>et al.,<\/em> 2013; Farr &amp; Rossman, 2016).\u00a0 \u00a0The pathogen is widely distributed globally and infects myrtle and several species within the family Myrtaceae, with few in Melastomataceae (Farr &amp; Rossman, 2016). In the USA, <em>P. myrticola<\/em> has only been reported from myrtle (<em>Myrtus communis<\/em>).\u00a0 In 1984, <em>P. myrticola<\/em> was first reported in the USA from Florida (Alfieri <em>et al<\/em>., 1984) and from San Diego, California in 2006 (CPPDR, 2007).\u00a0 On December 4, 2013, the pathogen was detected in a decorative wreath comprising of symptomatic leaves of an unknown plant, most likely to be myrtle that had been shipped from the State of Nevada and intercepted in Sonoma County, California.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Disease cycle<\/u><\/strong>: Infected plants produce conidiophores (specialized hypha) that arise from the plant surface in clusters through stomata and form conidia (asexual spores) successively.\u00a0 Conidia are easily detached and blown by wind often over long distances.\u00a0 On landing on surfaces of a plant host, conidia require water or heavy dew to germinate and penetrate the host.\u00a0 Sub-stomatal stroma (compact mycelial structure) may form from which conidiophores develop.\u00a0 Development of the pathogen is favored by high temperatures and the disease is most destructive during summer months and warmer climates.\u00a0 High relative humidity is necessary for conidial germination and plant infection.\u00a0 The pathogen can overwinter in or on seed and as mycelium (stromata) in old infected leaves (Agrios, 2005). <em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Dispersal and spread<\/em>: air-currents, infected nursery plants, infected leaves, seeds.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hosts:<\/em> <em>Blepharocalyx divaricatus<\/em>, <em>Metrosideros excela <\/em>(New Zealand Christmas tree), <em>M. parkinsonii <\/em>(Parkinson\u2019s rata), <em>Monochaetum polyneurum<\/em>, <em>Myrciaria cauliflora<\/em> (jaboticaba), <em>Myrtus communis <\/em>(common myrtle), <em>M. communis <\/em>var. <em>latifolia<\/em>, <em>M. communis <\/em>var. <em>laurifolia<\/em>, <em>M. divaricata<\/em>, <em>Tristania<\/em> <em>suaveolens<\/em> (swamp mahogany) (Farr &amp; Rossman, 2016).<\/p>\n<p><em>Symptoms<\/em>: \u00a0Infected host plants exhibit irregular to angular, leaf spots on both leaf surfaces.\u00a0 Spots are 2-4 mm in diameter, rusty-brown, abundant on the lower leaf surface, usually confluent. \u00a0Lesions or spots may be surrounded by a diffuse lighter halo (Nakashima <em>et al<\/em>., 2004).<\/p>\n<p><em>Damage Potential: <\/em>Specific losses due to <em>Pseudocercospora myrticola <\/em>have not been reported.\u00a0 Photosynthetic area can be reduced due to leaf spotting.\u00a0 In severe infections, leaf wilt and drop may be expected.\u00a0 However, damage potential due to this pathogen is likely to be similar to other <em>Cercospora<\/em> diseases which is usually low (Agrios, 2005).\u00a0 In California, myrtle is not native to California and is grown in lower coastal and some inner valley regions of the State (Calflora, 2016) in landscapes, commercial and private gardens.\u00a0 Also, young branches and foliage are used in floral decorations and therefore, diseased plants could be of particular concern to production nurseries.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Worldwide Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> <em>Africa<\/em>: South Africa, Cape Province; <em>Asia<\/em>:\u00a0 India, Japan; <em>Europe<\/em>: Cyprus, England, Republic of Georgia, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Sicily, Scotland, Sweden, Yugoslavia; <em>North America<\/em>: USA (Florida, California); <em>South America<\/em>: Brazil, Chile, Paraguay; <em>Oceania<\/em>: Australia, New Zealand (Crous <em>et al<\/em>., 2013;\u00a0 Farr &amp; Rossman, 2016).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Official Control<\/u>:<\/strong> None reported.\u00a0 Presently, <em>Pseudocercospora myrticola<\/em> has a temporary \u2018Q\u2019 rating in California.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> <em>Pseudocercospora myrticola <\/em>has been found in San Diego Counties (CDFA Plant Pest and Damage Records).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Interceptions<\/u>:\u00a0<\/strong> <em>Pseudocercospora myrticola<\/em> was detected in 2013 in an intercepted quarantine shipment of a plant wreath that originated in Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>The risk <em>Pseudocercospora myrticola<\/em> would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Consequences of Introduction:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>1) Climate\/Host Interaction:<\/strong> Evaluate if the pest would have suitable hosts and climate to establish in California.
